[Asterisk-Users] Newbie requesting help!

[Joao Carlos Mavimbe]

Dear all.

I am new using asterisk.
I planned to have in my company an asterisk pbx that as a start would be
serving one analog phone, four sip hardphone extensions and two Iax
softphone. The next plan is to integrate asterisk with an old PBX Alcatel
4100 and 3 lines to the public phone company.
So I bought a very basic digium card (10B) with one FXS module as a start.
I have been strugling for a month to get it going without success.
Installation went fine, zaptel driver loads correctly. What I can hear is a
constant ring on the connected phone (is this normal?) and when I pick it
up, I hear a dialtone. Went into configuration of zapata.conf. Everything
seems to be correct as when I run asterisk in verbose mode, it gives no
errors (it connects).  Lifing the headset, I can still hear  a  tone but
when it comes to dialing , nothing happens (meaning  I hear the  DTMF with
the dialtone). I have been fighting  with the extension.conf file  and try
to  understand the logic behind it. Read so many  things on the net (voip
wiki) but seems to be very difficult since  I did not find any "dummies"
explanation for it.
Can somebody help me configuring my basic asterisk pbx possible with an
explanation on what the most important lines means?
Can somebody help me build the configuration for further expansion of my pbx
system?

Regards.
