I agree. Lately there have been some harsh responses to common questions. 'Tis the season, as they say. I've personally been able to do everything I wanted to do at home with Asterisk, and I've never once encountered a segmentation fault or any real crash. I have not found Asterisk to be riddled with bugs, and I've seen that the project continues to improve rapidly. Initially I found everything I needed to setup a home Asterisk system by Google searches, and reading the documentation that is available. I must state that when you decide to experiment with a project that is somewhat bleeding edge you should expect to a lot of research on your own, and you should start out with a decent amount of patience. That being said, I must admit that the Asterisk-Users mailing list has been very helpful and responsive to a couple of questions I have asked in the past. I am no Asterisk guru, but I believe I have a good handle on things, and I learn more everyday by following this list. If people make a reasonable effort to find the easy answers and provide ample details when asking the not-so-trivial questions then they will find this list, and the greater Asterisk users community, is not such a terrible place after all. -- Tony Kava Network Administrator Pottawattamie County, Iowa _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
