[Asterisk-Users] * INSTRUCTIONS

[tmpm]

Might I humbly request someone, somewhere in the community establish a 
"dummies guide to asterisk" kind of site, that explains in detail what the 
cryptic scripts actually do, line by line.
The Wiki is helpful, but unless you were in on the movie from the first 
part, the scene discussions are moot.

Im grateful for all the most helpful people who have assisted me, and I 
expect to actually be able to talk to someone with the * soon....rite now, 
IAXTEL isn't recognizing me (after registering and following the thread 
thru changing my pwd)...Ive put the FWD connection on hold...

I know it's a hard stretch for a lot of you who are experts at this, to 
accommodate the new users.
Some explanations as to what each line IS and what it does might be 
helpful...man, IF I could get mine working (and its for lack of time 
presently, Im sure the scripts Ive been sent will eventually work) I'd be 
happy to write something to help people get a simple solution to get it 
talking so they would be interested in exploring further....to look at the 
test scripts, is a exercise in futility (IMHO). I dont say this lightly, I 
worked commercial switches and SS7 for years...but Im still going DUH....Im 
sure Ill eventually master it, but I sincerely believe we need some real * 
101 instructional stuff....one of these days Im sure the light will switch 
on, and I'll say I wonder how I didn't get it, just like you are in that 
position now.

This is NOT a criticism, please dont take it that way...its merely a 
suggestion for easing the transition into understanding, and thus sparking 
interest in further exploration and hopefully a greater user base.

Marc, with hopefully positive advice...and to all who contacted me, THANK 
YOU....very much..
