I use an ATA: Linksys PAP2 (which has now been superseded with a model that has the same features as a Sipura 3000). When I did have a go at Asterisk I found it quite tiresome tinkering with a web interface. As error messages are quite discreet and don't really help you with solving the problem (in my case learning Asterisk). Recommended in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] (now know as something else) that it's quite handy to use a soft phone when playing with Asterisk, purely for testing. Once it's working configure the IP Phone/ATA. Now I just use MyNetFone: http://www.myfone.com.au/ -- Simon Males <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
