I am using from "Asterisk:The future of telephony" book to install Asterisk . For the new version , according to you , I am using from Asterisk-1.6.2.0 , Libpri 1.4.10.2 , and Dahdi 2.2.0.2 . But for Dahdi installation , the mentioned book does not have any section . Can you please confirm if the Dahdi installation is the same as Libpri or not?
