FreeSWITCH is much better than Asterisk, try it =D

Asterisk sucks compared to FreeSWITCH, but FreeSWITCH also sucks in some ways.

If you're still having problems with this, check the md5 hash to ensure the download was not corrupted. I had to download twice to get it to work. Good luck.

I have tryed out AsteriskNow and have found it to be very buggy. Better off learning how to compile asterisk in a linux term will be a more stable system. AsteriskNow im my opinion is no good for a production business phone system unless you can afford downtime.

hey could anyone help me out!I tried installing asterisk but as soon as I press enter for installation the next screen doesnt come up instead it says that it cant recognize the CD and the required rpath files.But the rpath files were there inside. ????

As for the hardware, the easiest thing to do is to install a PCI card from digium because it will work out of the box and be supported natively by Asterisk now. The Digium TDM10B Single FXS is about $150 retail. For about $50-90 you can get an network based Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) that will have an FXS port. Digium makes one called the IAXy. You can then configure it and configure AsteriskNOW to get it to work.

Get an old PC. Install hardware that will give you an FXS port for plugging a phone into. Download and install AsteriskNOW onto that PC. Done.
