Asterisk Now Running The Show

I switched the home phones over to my Asterisk server tonight. It’s doing lots of tricks for us now, like long distance for 1.5 cents per minute, programmable voicemail, etc. I’ve had a blast learning how to make this thing work, too. In fact, I volunteered today to teach a class on the Asterisk PBX system on June 12th for the Triangle Linux Users Group.

I have three hours alloted, though frankly I’m wondering if that will be enough time. This software is a full-featured PBX system and there is plenty of ground to cover. Based on the interest I’ve seen on this topic on the mailing list, I expect this to be a very popular class!
