[asterisk-biz] n00bie Question

[rc]

Hi Everyone,

I have been lurking here and researching ala Google for a while, but I 
was curious if anyone could point me to some quality resources that 
illustrate the technological and business stack regarding VOIP.

There is a sea of info and can be overwhelming especially since they 
cover everything from end-user Skype to corporate Cisco phone systems. 
I am looking for a good explanation of the structure from Telcos/POTS to 
setting up a business with Asterisk box on their native internet pipe. 
What are the layers involved, etc. What I am realizing is that while the 
conversations here are great they are over my head (I had to Wiki DID!).

I appreciate your help and thank you in advance for any pointers, tips 
or links anyone could recommend.

Regards,
~Ray
