I have started to receive a lot of positive response for the [EMAIL PROTECTED] project. For those of you unfamiliar with this project the goal of [EMAIL PROTECTED] is to make a full featured version of Asterisk very easy to install.
We have created a 1 step .iso that installs RHEL (RedHat Enterprise Linux) and Asterisk. It includes a web GUI that allows easy editing of the Asterisk Config files. [EMAIL PROTECTED] has many other features including xPL (home automation) support, database integration, and usage statistics. If you would like to try it for yourself you can download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/asteriskathome/ I have received some questions on [EMAIL PROTECTED] from this list and from my page on voip-info.org here a few answers. 1. I tried to install [EMAIL PROTECTED] on my XXXX pc and it says it don't support my system. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is based on RHEL 3 Linux. RHEL 3 does not support many older systems. You should have at least a 300MHz PII. This may have been an oversight on my part but most of the info I have read on Asterisk says it does not run well on systems slower than this. Besides look on e-bay a dell Optiplex GX1, a great Linux and Asterisk box with good hardware support, sells for $34 (buy it now)! Seem like a worthwhile investment for Asterisk/Linux experimentation. If you really want to use Asterisk on slower hardware try Debian Linux it runs on almost anything and has good asterisk support. 2. I can�t connect to my network with from [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can try the netconfig command. You can use netconfig to configure your network manually. You can check to see if your card is supported by RHEL. If it isn�t you might have to compile a driver for it (yuck!). Your best bet is to use generic hardware that is known to work well with Linux (see above) you could also buy a network card that works with Linux (3com work well) 3. I would like to use my strange-ass ISDN/TAPI/PSTN/VOIP/phone thingy with Asterisk can you help? [EMAIL PROTECTED] is designed to be a starting off point for Asterisk experimentation. It supports some basic hardware. But beyond that try this mailing list or the ever useful voip-info.org. These resources will help you get just about any type of telephone interface known to man working with Asterisk! Hope this helps. -Andrew __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
