[asterisk-users] New Tutorial: Asterisk on EPIA VIA C3

[Lenz]

Apart from the tutorial itself, what I wanted to point out was that the  
way asterisk, zaptel and libpri are to be built is different for each  
project, and this is sub-optimal; and that by building Asterisk as  
required, you get a linkage error.
