[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk and InterTel Axxess system?

[Steve Yuroff]

Hi all,

My office recently purchased an InterTel Axxess system with the IPRC 
card for VoIP.  To our suprise, this card allows the InterTel endpoints 
and MGCP endpoints to work, but not SIP clients.  I was really 
expecting to get a SIP softphone working with this setup, but that 
appears to require our vendor to sell us a SIP gateway and licenses at 
a not yet determined price.

With this background, I have a few questions:

Is * a proper tool to provide a SIP<->MGCP gateway?  Am I even asking 
for something that makes sense?
If so, where's the best "from the ground up, assume I don't know the 
lingo" guidance on how to get where I want to go?  Like many open 
source projects, the documentation I've seen so far seems to assume the 
reader is not a newbie in this field.  I'm hoping there's introductory 
documentation someone can point me towards.  Asterisk 101, if you will.

I have *@home running on an old PC, but don't have a clue where to 
begin configuring, or what proper configurations would look like 
anyway....

Regards,

Steve.
