Hi all, hope this is not too off topic, but thought it fit better
here than any of the other lists.
I am in the IT field with some telecommunications background
knowledge. Mainly learning from when my father worked for a telco
and from keeping up the old Nortel PBX here at work. My issue is
that where I am employed they have no plans on the drawing board of
every trying to go VoIP, espicially from an open source solution as
they are Microsoft finatics, because they will not justify the cost
nor the resources to research by buying hardware and testing.
So here is my delimma. I am running asterisk in my home running
[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have no need for any of the advanced dial plans
and setups like there are out there in the real world. But I want
to gain more knowledge in setting up asterisk and programming it
dial plans. I cannot afford T1 cards and other expensive gear off
my persoanl budget.
Can anyone give some insight as to a good direction to go to try
and learn all this. I will be finishing my MIS degree in August
2006 and then want to concentrate on learing some C programming so
I can understand what is going on behind the scenes. It is just
lately between school and work I have not had time to pick up
trying to learn C and asterisk.
Sorry if too off-topic and no, I am not trying to get someone here
to offer me a job. Only some insight into understanding and being
proficient in setting up some real systems.

Robert Webb
Robert,
If you want to learn dialplans inside and out, your first step should
be to ditch [EMAIL PROTECTED] and work to rebuild the same functionality
yourself from scratch. I like [EMAIL PROTECTED], but it is best suited
for those who want a solution that "just works", not those who want
to dig in and really learn the nuts and bolts of dialplan logic.
Once you have done that, you ought to have a decent idea of how to
work with dialplans.
