<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Personally I wouldn't bother with the Mahler
book. I bought it in the hope that it might be the panacea I was looking
for. It wasn't. If you read it you will recognise a lot of the
standard text you will see on Digium or other web sites.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I had time I would write the book
myself.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I did find a useful handbook - but can't find it
right now - or where I found it.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Asterisk @ Home is a quick way to get up and
running first. But to really get to know the product you are best to have
a go doing it the hard way - ie installing a brand of Linux and getting familiar
with the conf files. Having a strong linux knowledge helps a
lot.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=267435013-20072005><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi
all,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=267435013-20072005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm currently
gearing up for a possible PBX replacement project using Asterisk, and I'm just
breaching the iceberg of information that's available. I typically
like to have something thick with pages in front of me. Mahler's book
was the first one to come up and it seems like a good place to start.
However, the big name bookstores tell me it'll take up to three weeks, and
this project simply can't endure that wait. Does anyone know where it's
possible to get a paper copy *quickly*?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=267435013-20072005><FONT face=Arial size=2>#2, I'm planning
to interface Asterisk with a Norstar MICS via PRI. Can anyone
recommend a reference book or site more suited to this
task?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
