[Asterisk-Users] Mahler's Book - New Project

[Angus Comber]

Personally I wouldn't bother with the Mahler book.  I bought it in the hope that it might be the panacea I was looking for.  It wasn't.  If you read it you will recognise a lot of the standard text you will see on Digium or other web sites.

If I had time I would write the book myself.

I did find a useful handbook - but can't find it right now - or where I found it.

Asterisk @ Home is a quick way to get up and running first.  But to really get to know the product you are best to have a go doing it the hard way - ie installing a brand of Linux and getting familiar with the conf files.  Having a strong linux knowledge helps a lot.

Best way to learn as always is to buy a telephony card and set up for real.

  Hi all,

  I'm currently gearing up for a possible PBX replacement project using Asterisk, and I'm just breaching the iceberg of information that's available.  I typically like to have something thick with pages in front of me.  Mahler's book was the first one to come up and it seems like a good place to start.  However, the big name bookstores tell me it'll take up to three weeks, and this project simply can't endure that wait.  Does anyone know where it's possible to get a paper copy *quickly*?

  #2, I'm planning to interface Asterisk with a Norstar MICS via PRI.  Can anyone recommend a reference book or site more suited to this task?

  Thanks and regards,
