installation CD (version 1.3) and just went with it. Newbie doesn't quite
describe it, I'm a banker.. this simply goes to show how easy Asterisk is
becoming (I certainly hope this direction was meant to be inviting to people
like me).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

it (oh323) was installed, I was able to dialout from an h323 device with
little problem. I have not, however, been able to setup the h323 device as an
extension (or use it to communicate with other h323 devices, or through it to
the pstn.. I was confused because in creating an extension (or a trunk) in <A
href="mailto:Asterisk@home">Asterisk@home</A> there was nothing to indicate that
h323 was "available". The dropdown in extension creation does not include oh323
(or some such) item.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=481484423-03092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I need

someone please tell me whether the AVM Fritz card is a "low pain" solution to

one BRI - this is at home) so would appreciate any help.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=481484423-03092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>From
day one, I was able to create the trunk to dialout of iConnectHere, but despite
finding several claimed correct settings for receiving its DID, I've not been
able to. When I connect a Grandstream 101 to the line and power it up, it has
absolutely no problem receiving calls from that DID but no matter what I try,
I'm unable to receive into Asterisk (@home) .. Just so we're clear, I am
receiving calls from fwd and through fwd from an ipkall number.. and I'm also
recieving calls from the FXO on a sipura spa3k.. - iConnectHere don't help more
than point to the wiki .. (and what I find there doesn't
work).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

using Macros.. I suspect it's a clever way of managing the setup, but I'm not
sure where the various portions of SIP.conf, extensions.conf,
extensions_additional.conf, extensions_custom.conf or indeed oh323.conf. - are
relevant.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

mention this because I realize no one will be able to help my "specific"
problems unless I put up the confs.. but I have not added anything related to
oh323 at all (excepting working on oh323.conf which is not meaningful since I
have no mention of the extensions or trunks of h323 devices in the files.. and
my iConnectHere 'setup' for the DID is only one of a dozen or so tries.. (which
all don't work) .. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
