To get replies, I would suggest reading the "Asterisk for Dumb Me" guide or similar texts first. Its a good overview of the capabilities. RTFM, you know.

I think that the X-Lite phone works the best but you have to get used to it. SJ-Phone is not bad. It all depends on your requirements.

Thanks, I am looking at that site now. Also thanks for suggesting X-Lite and SJ-Phone as items to look into, hopefully they will be what I need.

I am preparing to run an asterisk setup as an in house only configuration.

This system is not intended to access the internet at all, as I am on dial-up.

If anyone can give me some suggestions as I go into configuring this, as this is my first time configuration.

My intended use will be as follows

[asterisk box]
192.168.0.2 -----+---- 192.168.0.1 Administration box, and main line (extension 1 & 2)
                            |
                           +---- 192.168.0.3 Extension 3 (Windows 98 or XP)
                            |
+---- 192.168.0.4 Extension 4 (future expansion)(Windows 98 or XP)
                            |
+---- 192.168.0.5 Extension 5 (future expansion)(Windows 98 or XP)
                            |
+---- 192.168.0.6 Extension 6 (future expansion and possible same system as extension 5 )(Windows 98 or XP)


When the asterisk box picks up the line, and after the queues I dictate for it to jump through. I want to ring the extension requested, and if no one is available, dump the caller to voice mail, which will be emailed to the extension as an wav or mp3 file. Also with Fax as an option, a fax should be emailed to a main account. (the main line)

Now, My main questions.

Is there a simple way to use the computers as a soft-phone? Is there suggested software to do this? I gather each system(ip) will require a headset.

Can you advise me on Open Source software that will enable me to use the computers as a IP phone?

Also are there any plug-in's you would suggest that I make sure that I build into asterisk?

Thomas
