Read this article first: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2003/07/03/asterisk.html Then read the Asterisk Handbook: http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=asterisk_handbook and everything at: http://www.digium.com/index.php?menu=documentation Here is a resource about Asterisk scripting, links, tips, and other help: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk >Also how customizable is Asterisk and what > language do I use to customize or develop for it?
