Can anyone give me a simple easy-to-understand place to start for |
| 2 |
setting up Asterisk? All I want it for is for Caller ID and to drop |
| 3 |
calls from certain phone numbers. I have a US Robots data/fax modem. |
| 4 |
Asterisk is running (as evidenced by ps ax) and the phone line is |
| 5 |
plugged into the computer. I know this is correct because I can dial |
| 6 |
out with kppp. Someone suggested that I look at my modem's manual for |
| 7 |
how to do this; my modem did not come with a manual, and I am not at all |
| 8 |
hardware-savvy. Others have written back and suggested alternate |
| 9 |
hardware. My wife and I have $25.00USD to last us the rest of the |
| 10 |
month, It's like this every month, so I can't exactly buy new hardware. |
| 11 |
I have to work with what we have. I called our home number (the number |
| 12 |
whose phone line is plugged into my computer) from my cell phone while |
| 13 |
sitting at the asterisk CLI command console. I heard the phone ring on |
| 14 |
the other extension, so I typed 'answer'. Asterisk came back with "No |
| 15 |
one is calling us" Meanwhile the phone was still ringing. I've googled |
| 16 |
for asterisk tutorials, but I can't seem to find anything that's basic |
| 17 |
enough for me to understand. Please help. |
