<p>Snowguy: adding link and short description</p> <hr /> <div>[http://www.asterisk.org/ Asterisk] is a telephony engine and toolkit. It handles things like pbx (switching calls), and interactive voice response system (ivr), a voicemail system etc.<br /> <br /> = Asterisk Notes =<br /> <br /> * due to the way the make file is written for asterisk it requires the kernel-devel files to be present and a link to them placed in /usr/src<br /> * the zaptel and asterisks makefile rely on this when performing an install from source<br /> <br /> *installing Asterisk from the repo installs the 1.6beta9 currently, this has a know issue with the optional ldap authentication causing the Asterisk server to crash which should be fixed in beta 10. -more info at http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2008/07/24/open-source-telephony-a-fedora-based-voip-server-with-asterisk/<br /> *using the default behavior to configure the users and access through the sip.conf and the other related files should avoid any ldap bugs<br /> <br /> *installing the common components from the repo currently works and provides a base Asterisk server which will need to be manually configured and started (yum install asterisk asterisk-alsa asterisk-voicemail asterisk-voicemail-plain)<br /> *note that installing all components will require more configuration of all of the individual components and *.conf files<br /> <br /> *the asterisk-sounds package required for the echo test and voicemail may not be available due to licensing questions, but should be available from other sources or the Asterisk website as source to be unpacked into the proper directory (/usr/share/asterisk/sounds).</div>

<p>Snowguy: no need to refer to the FAQ which contained even less info, except this link. So moved link here.</p> <hr /> <div>= Using VNC to use a remote desktop in the HDA =<br /> <br /> Using [http://realvnc.com/ VNC] is useful if:<br /> <br /> * You would like a Linux desktop to the HDA<br /> * You would like to use a GUI to configure printer(s) and windows file sharing (Samba)<br /> * You enjoy using the Linux desktop<br /> <br /> = What you need =<br /> <br /> * A server<br /> * A client<br /> <br /> = Client =<br /> <br /> * [http://realvnc.com/ For Windows]<br /> * [http://cotvnc.sourceforge.net/ For MAC]<br /> * For Linux, you have the vncviewer package, available in most, if not all distros<br /> <br /> = Server = <br /> <br /> To start the server in your HDA, you type this at the command line<br /> <br /> vncserver<br /> <br /> The first time, it will ask for setting up a password. You can also specify a size, which I typically do a hair smaller than the desktop I plan to use it from. Example for 1280x1024:<br /> <br /> vncserver -geometry 1250x1000<br /> <br /> More detailed instructions are available [http://www.g-loaded.eu/2005/11/10/configure-vnc-server-in-fedora/ here].</div>
