[VoIP] OT: Need help w/Linux

[Nathaniel D. Watson]

Here's an update on my situation:

The machine I was using was a Gateway, which whom I had known to be rather
proprietary in their designs. I found that there were no BIOS settings to
make it ignore the presence of a keyboard, and I confirmed this to be true
by speaking with the shop where I bought the machine (a local place selling
used machines & parts). The guy did let me swap/exchange for a comparably
equipped Compaq, and I got it to work the way I want just fine.

Thanks for everyone's responses & suggestions! My next step is to install
and dive into Asterisk. I'm also awaiting the delivery of a Cisco 3810 --
the one which I asked about a few days ago.

(John N.: I did follow your advice, and the guy accepted my best-offer
price.)


Thanks,

Nathan
