[Asterisk-Users] PBX Functionality How-to

[Chris Albertson]

One thing Centrex is that Asterisk is not is a turn key
system.  With Asterisk you have to either build the PBX your
self or pay someone to build yu one.  With Centrex you
simply write a check.

THat said, you can build  anything you want so of cource the
feature list can match.

The best way to learn what it can do is to build a small PBX
with just a couple extensions.  Try to build in all the
funtionality you need in your larger system.  

If you get into trouble you may want to ask __specific__ questions
like "I want to make XXX work, I triedd XXX and YYY but I still
have this problem it it?   You may have to post 50 questions
like that one at a time.  But you will get answers.  Asterisk has
a learning curve.  expect it to take a few weeks of study

But the bottom line is that Asterisk will do quite a bit more
than Centrex.  I don't think Centrex does VOIP at all
