[sf-lug] Anyone using Asterisk with VoIP on Linux?

[John F. Strazzarino]

A friend is setting up a VoIP system for his office.  It is a small operation, he just wants to get 4 phones working.  He does have a Trandnet router with the IP phone plugged into it and he gets a dialtone, but that's it.  His Linux server has a myriad of error messages (of course, none of which I have captured!) which would probably explain why the setup is not working.  
 
Does anyone have any experience/knowledge of how to do this?
 
I'm reading 'Asterisk for Dummies' like mad, so that would explain my knowledge level.
 
Also, do all phones in a VoIP system need to match (same model and features) or can you just use 'any old' IP phone?
 
Thanks
 
John
