I'm a big fan of asterisk and have a couple projects coming along nicely for it. But we use a sangoma T1 card and asterisk@home doesn't realy support it out of the box. Now asterisk@home isn't the only way to setup and install asterisk but for a Windows Dweeb like me, it's probably the easiest way to get 'er done. Here's a couple links that should help tremendously (and yes this is also serving as my own personal notepad as my favorites are almost as cluttered as my desktop as is my desk, my office, my car.. ahh yes once again I digress). asterisk@home: http://asteriskathome.sourceforge.net sangoma's wiki with info on how to get it working with asterisk@home: http://sangoma.editme.com/wanpipe-linux-asterisk-atHome
