Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look at it. The main reason for me to use 
bristuff is that i don't want to mess mess around downloading and 
compiling my own kernels. I am just running CentOS 4 boxes with stock 
CentOS 4 kernels. Everytime I was screwing around with making my own 
kernels sooner or later I got bitten by screwing up the installation of 
the kernel and the box wouldn't boot anymore. :)

On the wiki I found the manual from BeroNet which looks pretty 
straightforward but is for Asterisk 1.2

Any differences for Asterisk 1.4?

Thanks!!
