Installation of Asterisk-11 on Ubuntu 12.10

Asterisk An Introduction:  

                     Asterisk is a free and open source workbench to design your own communication applications over the internet or on your personal local area network. Basically asterisk uses basic concepts of IP telephony and also few open source protocols like SIP , IAX etc to establish communication sessions. Asterisk is sponsored by Digium inc. A privately held communication technology company. Asterisk is a free soft switch which can convert your personal computer into a soft exchange (PBX), your computer as a soft exchange will register peers and will also forward call to other peers and gateways. You can also host an IVR (Integrated Voice Response) on your computer for any extensions, as asterisk can also support media. for more details on asterisk you can visit following links:
