I've been trying for something like 2-3 weeks to get an Asterisk box working how I would want it to work... I'm on telewest also, but I was hoping to set it up kind of like a home answering machine.

I was using AsteriskNow (which was Asterisk @ Home), and I even tried TrixBox... I think I'll go back to proper basics and try Asterisk next. - Your extensions.conf seems like it might offer me some insight into what I was doing wrong - so thanks for that!

thanks

Mike
