[wplug] Installfest Aftermath - Asterisk Progress

[smk]

Greg, 

I assume that card is a FXS card then? (question I had during the install
fest)

If you are planning on using a SIP provider port 5060 should be fine.  I
am using a linksys and it worked fine at my place after forwarding the 
port.  I will double check my config when I get home and let you know if
there was anymore ports to forward.

You may also surf around www.voip-info.org and see what you find there?

Thanks to all those that helped me struggle through the instructions that came with the Digium TDP100P card.  With help from several WPLUGers, I made tremendous progress, but I am not yet making phone calls.

In their attempt to be helpful, they ended up torpedoing me, since their revisions conflicted with the current version of Asterisk, even though it is the recently issued ver 9.2 of Suse.  The old drivers all had to be deleted).
