It can be a little tricky to install with clarkconnect, but there's lots on
the forums @ clarkconnect.org. I managed to get it installed a while back
but never put it into action. There's also a script floating around to add
web configuration of asterisk via the cc web interface.

The folks at clarkconnect will be adding asterisk to the distro in the next
few months though, if you can wait that long ;)

The consumer routers built in WiFi/ADSL modems are not reliable.
