<tt><font size=2>> Thank you guys – your advice was spot on. I
will now reach out <br>

<br><tt><font size=2>You sound like you are just getting started with Asterisk.
A couple pieces of advice that helped me when I was starting out: </font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>1. Get a copy of Asterisk: The Definitive Guide. Work
through the examples and understand the concepts it teaches. I still use
it all the time.</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>2. When you run into problems, </font></tt><a href="http://voip-info.org/"><tt><font size=2>http://voip-info.org</font></tt></a><tt><font size=2>
is a great Asterisk resource. It isn't always perfectly up to date, but
is very useful.</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>3. Search on the error messages you are given by Asterisk.
It is common enough that many (but not all) of the error messages will
have hits that explain your problem in greater detail.</font></tt>
