Start here. http://voipspeak.net/images/stories/orielly/AsteriskTFOT.zip Read the first few chapters or so. Set aside having the answer Right Now and devote some time to theory and concepts. The asterisk dialplan configuration is a little difficult to understand at first, at least it was for me. You can email me with any questions if you want or try various means of the asterisk community. Both the official irc channel irc://irc.freenode.net/#asterisk and mailing list http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users are very active and usually helpful. >From your account I can't tell whether you have a softphone installed. I recommend iaxcomm, but unfortunately I can't get http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81393 to work because it wants the entire 152 Mib iaxclient svn repo for just one 2.2 Mib application and because of a couple of other bugs in the ebuild. You may also try kiax which is what I've been using until I get around to making iaxcomm work. Kphone might also work for you too. How is asterisk communicating with your modem card?
