[ILUG] Slightly OT: Setting up Asterisk PBX on my home network

[Mick O'Toole]

Thomas,

Thanks for your suggestion however I already have multiple handsets around
the house. I was just looking for something to get my teeth into and I
thought the best way to learn a bit about PBX systems was to install one and
implement it at home.

Looks like I might have to use a third party provider to get this done
though.

Thanks for you suggestions folks.

Mick
