[VoIP] Need some help on the basics

[Dennis D Hock]

Don,

Just wanted to say welcome aboard.  Dennis Hock 269 here. Although
currently  I am having trouble getting inbound due to my DYNDNS account
expired, need to get it recreated and have John help me get the tie down to
automatically send the heartbeat as it were.  I can dial out just cant get
inbound, too much work at work.

Just wanted to say hello and welcome.

Dennis Hock

Well, thanks to John and Greg, I'm up and running!
I've got ddclient running with DynDNS under Debian.

1-762-0000 routes to my operator's phones with voice
mail. Everything else (1-762-XXXX) routes to my
ProjectMF setup. This allows call routing over an
SF(2600)/MF trunk group I created by looping two extra
NIC cards in my Asterisk box and running TDMoE. There
is a recorded explanation when dialing in. I'll add
some additional number differentiation later.

Thanks again for the help! Just need to get outgoing
working.
