[asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.6 dahdi only?

[Steve Gladden]

Thanks all very much for the help & pointers.
I've found all of the documentation on asterisk (especially 1.2-1.4) to
be more than adequate, and the voip-info wiki to be almost complete for many
things I've had to do in the past.

I also back in 2004 was able to bring up several high end large scale
systems and asterisk was a major help to keeping food on the table!

Hey! I LOVE my Atari (800XL) 64K
And Star Raiders is the bomb!!!
I'm 41 now :-)

And oddly Motorola 8 bit assembly language is the only serious programming
work I have ever done.
I'm now a stuck-up snob spoiled and too good to learn a high level
programming language because I've worked with the 'cool stuff'! :-)
