I am sorry, I ment to give a good reference after i said that ATFOT wasn't
very helpful. Probably the best site for information on Asterisk is
http://www.voip-info.org, however it is HUGE... you may find it a bit more
helpfull to start with http://www.asteriskguru.com. (there tutorial on
slackware is very complete and can be modified for gentoo) When in doubt most
things can be found by a really good google search...
ie: asterisk dialplan howto

I may be wrong, but
net-misc/asterisk-1.2.11
looks like 1.2 to me :)

Correct... however it is masked by keyword and contains a significant bugs
that were introduce in 1.2.10..
the default installation of asterisk is 1.0.11.

Ugh. You're right. Yet another important piece of software I have
to manage without the convenience of Portage. :(
My TDM400, despite being very new, was affected by the bug that older
ones had in which they'd change their PCI ID sometimes after a power
cycle. I also had to modify the zaptel driver to support pulse dialing
(I have a collection of vintage phones). So I guess it's not really
that big of a deal.
One of these days I need to explore the possibility of getting
zaptel to decode coin tones (1700+2200Hz) so I can cancel my
(expensive) coin line and move my Western Electric 2C2 to
Asterisk. Coin relay control isn't a problem, so the only
remaining hurdle is the coin detection.

To be quite honest, I have abandoned the Digium hardware across the board
for analog. I have gone to the Sangoma A200. I can buy a card without echo
cancellation and if the quality is sub par on the line (as they generally
are), and add a module to the A200 and have hardware echo cancellation.
Sure it is a pain to recompile wanpipe every time zaptel comes out with a
new release, but the granular configuration is worth it...

as for the coin phone, just take a sip phone and drop in into a calling
card context and charge their credit card ;) Of course it may cost you more
to charge the card then what you get from the call...

Oh, no, this payphone is not for making money, this is a decorative
piece in my home.
A friend of mine has a picture of a WE 2C2 on his website:
http://www.stromcarlson.com/payphones/snfcca001.jpg (the one on the
left) Very nice brushed stainless steel flush-mount. One of the
nicest-looking coin phones ever made.

Actually we're not in much disagreement, I know the book is out of date,
and in fact, it's not really that good (the tutorial is weirdly non-linear
and I was aghast at some of the errors in the chapter on traditional
telephony) but it does have an informative tutorial that is still probably
of value to novices.
And yeah, I guess I forgot to mention that if you're going to use the
ebuild, you should use the masked version (which is basically current).
