If I understand correctly, I only need IAX on the LAN since I am using a
SIP provider. Are those UDP or TCP or both?

Mm, I was hoping for a more direct URL. I'll dig around some more, though.

} I may be wrong here, but if you leave out the extension, the calls

} No worries, use whatever you like. However, if you are trying to get

I took a look at that, but I decided against it. I am comfortable with
Debian, and I know how to manage and secure it. In addition, I am
considering setting up Asterisk on a Mac Mini, and I believe that
Asterisk at Home is x86-only. I have downloaded AMP on its own, however, and
I'm looking into setting that up. Thanks for the help.
