I started with a raw install, on SuSe Linux quite a while ago, I then
reinstalled using something called Xorcom Rapid, this is a distribution with
an easy to use front end.
I played about with this for a bit, gradually learning how it works.
I am now using Asterisk@home, this was by far the easiest, as I just burned
a CD from an ISO I downloaded, shoved it in the PC, and turned it on, it
then goes ahead and sort's it's self out, wiping the disk, and installing
the lot!
My current system is just two bt101's but I will be getting some ATA's for
the "normal" phones in the house
It has features like MOH already done
Setting up the LCR is fairly easy (I can help you on this if you like)
Currently all 07 number route via one carrier, local numbers via another, I
have just setup all 0018XX (US Free numbers) to route through another
(FreeWorldDialup, as they offer it for free!
