[asterisk-users] Need help getting started with asterisk
I am new to asterisk. I need help getting started, if it's even worth getting started. I say if it's worth getting started because I'm not sure if my hardware will even work with asterisk. I have a US ROBOTICS 56K V.90 PCI SOFT MODEM. I have standard twisted pair telephone wire. I can't afford to alter my hardware. I know I won't be able to do any sophistocated VoIP stuff. All I want is for asterisk to provide caller ID information for my Gentoo box and to drop calls for certain phone numbers I specify. Someone on the Gentoo list told me that for the caller ID bit I should check my modem's manual to find out how; my modem did not come with a manual. I've emerged asterisk on my Gentoo system, as well as the zaptel driver package. I issued /etc/init.d/asterisk start and confirmed with ps that it was running. I got a command console with asterisk -r. I then called my home line that the computer is plugged into from my cell phone. I heard my wife's cordless ringing in the other room, and I heard some breaks on the phone line, but nothing else. I let it ring ten times. What would I have to do to get asterisk to realize that the PC is connected to the phone line? I know it is because I can dial out with kppp. Also, I've been trying to follow the AsteriskTFOT.pdf file. On page 79 it says to add a few lines to /etc/zaptel.conf and then modprobe wctdm. I did that. I then ran /sbin/ztcnf -vv to make sure everything was right.

Re: [asterisk-users] Need help getting started with asterisk
As Paul Hales said, I doubt that modem is supported. To interface with a regular phone line you'll need to get a supported card. You can read about it online. To just get started with playing, I recommend you go ahead with the sophistocated VoIP stuff.. Perhaps sign up with IPKALL or Stanaphone. Google will tell you all about how to connect them...

I say if it's worth getting started because I'm not sure if my hardware will even work with asterisk. I have a US ROBOTICS 56K V.90 PCI SOFT MODEM. I have standard twisted pair telephone wire. I can't afford to alter my hardware. I know I won't be able to do any sophistocated VoIP stuff. All I want is for asterisk to provide caller ID information for my Gentoo box and to drop calls for certain phone numbers I specify. Someone on the Gentoo list told me that for the caller ID bit I should check my modem's manual to find out how; my modem did not come with a manual. I've emerged asterisk on my Gentoo system, as well as the zaptel driver package. I issued /etc/init.d/asterisk start and confirmed with ps that it was running. I got a command console with asterisk -r. I then called my home line that the computer is plugged into from my cell phone. I heard my wife's cordless ringing in the other room, and I heard some breaks on the phone line, but nothing else. I let it ring ten times. What would I have to do to get asterisk to realize that the PC is connected to the phone line? I know it is because I can dial out with kppp. Also, I've been trying to follow the AsteriskTFOT.pdf file. On page 79 it says to add a few lines to /etc/zaptel.conf and then modprobe wctdm. I did that. I then ran /sbin/ztcnf -vv to make sure everything was right. I got this: camille ~ # modprobe wctdm camille ~ # /sbin/ztcfg -vv Zaptel Configuration == Channel map: Channel 02: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Slaves: 02) 1 channels configured. ZT_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 2: No such device or address (6) What does that mean? What device was it looking for?

Re: [asterisk-users] Need help getting started with asterisk
What does zttool show? And after you 'modprobe wctdm' what does your dmesg read? /var/log/messages? You should see something about a card being recognised PaulH On Tue, 2006-12-12 at 21:24 -0600, Michael Sullivan wrote: On Wed, 2006-12-13 at 14:21 +1100, Paul Hales wrote: I would be very surprised if your modem is supported by Asterisk - but I suppose it's worth a try.

Re: [asterisk-users] Need help getting started with asterisk
I definitely agree with the reading thing - it's a great way to learn http://www.asteriskdocs.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=11 PaulH On Tue, 2006-12-12 at 22:53 -0500, Todd- Asterisk wrote: As Paul Hales said, I doubt that modem is supported. To interface with a regular phone line you'll need to get a supported card. You can read about it online. To just get started with playing, I recommend you go ahead with the sophistocated VoIP stuff.. Perhaps sign up with IPKALL or Stanaphone. Google will tell you all about how to connect them... Good luck and have fun! Todd On Dec 12, 2006, at 10:13 PM, Michael Sullivan wrote: I am new to asterisk. I need help getting started, if it's even worth getting started.
