[asterisk-users] Need help getting started with asterisk

[Michael Sullivan]

Here's where I stand:

camille asterisk # ztcfg -vv

Zaptel Configuration

Channel map:

I entered all the configuration the seller from ebay sent me
into /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf and continues with the pdf file.  The pdf
said to add the following lines to /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf:

[incoming]
; incoming calls from the FXO port are directed to this context from
zapata.conf
exten => s,1,Answer( )
exten => s,2,Echo( )


This seemed strange to me because there was no incoming context
explicitly declared in zapata.conf, but I added it to extensions.conf
and restarted asterisk so that the new options would take effect.  I
called my home number (the number that's going into my computer) from my
cell phone.  I let it ring ten times.  Nothing.  I went back into
extensions.conf and changed [incoming] to [from-pstn], restarted
asterisk and tried again.  Same results.  What am I doing wrong?  Why
won't asterisk pick up?  The pdf says it should...
