Ok, I am feeling a little confused about how to get my asterisk system
to start answering the phone.
1. I have updated to the latest build of asterisk 1.2.10 ..
2. Compiled with make, make all, make install, and make samples (after
backing up /etc/asterisk for the old version)
3. I've read and read and re-read what seems to be the same articles
about the same topics that do not seem to help...
I swear, if I ever get this working, I am going to put sample configs
online with LOOK DUMMY, THIS DOES THIS on EACH line of the file ;) (in
MY simplistic terms)
My problem right now is I must be confusing some things.
As this system is not intended to have internet access, nor access to
another asterisk or voip server, I get confused as most of the sample
files already have that hooked in.
Zap/1 Zap/2 ? What is Zap, and how do I know what device its using, I
am assuming its a device... How does the modem show in the /dev/ is it
the atypical /dev/modem/ or /dev/ttyS# ? (Consequently when I look
through my sysinfo in /proc/ the modem reports as a Intel 537.. which I
understand to be the X100P, tho it has 2 RJ's on the back of it)
At this point I don't even know what files I should be seeking help on
for editing, I think I understand that for setting up my softphones I
edit sip.conf (or the [protocol being used].conf). and extensions.conf.
(I have working extensions at this point... and have connected with
typing 8500 and did the tests with digium...)
When I am in CLI, and a call comes in, CLI gives me NO feedback. None
at all. Nothing in the /var/log/asterisk files either...
Can someone supply me with a inkling so I might discover the rest of the
clue I need to continue?
Thanks

P.S. /dev/dsp does not seem to exist, or is unable to be re-opened. I
have no 'console' functionality, however I am under the understanding
that this doesnt matter unless you plan to have a intercom, is this correct?
