If you want to explore all of this you may want to go to voip-info.org. There is a lot to read!

It sits on top of a (typically) Linux OS. From Asterisk.org you can download the Asterisk source code, which can be compiled into a binary to run Asterisk. There are several Linux distributions centered around Asterisk however. They might be more what you're looking for. The most popular systems seem to be AstLinux (http://www.astlinux.org/ ) and [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( http://asteriskathome.sourceforge.net ). You might want to give those a shot if you're just looking to download an ISO and start playing with Asterisk immediately.

I congratulate on your successes and teamwork. I am a very new lover of Asterisk (from just reading about it) and want to try this on one of my servers. All I need is the IP to IP routing. can someone help me in putting me to the right direction? Where should I start? And what are the best practices. Currently, I am doing this with a hosted switch solution and a friend of mine told me that I could use asterisk and do this myself rather then spending hundreds of dollars on these leased switches. Do you guys think he is right? Can someone help me here? My apologies in advance if I am asking really stupid questions or if I am on a wrong forum. I am just starter starter who has a lot of passion to learn about this technology Thanks Zia -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
