[Asterisk-Users] New here...

[TODD WALLACE - Mail Lists]

I am trying to get an initial setup up and going which I assume is a very common  question here.  My basic questions are the following:   Can I get Asterisk up and going without voice cards using it with SoftPhones internally as a proof of concept. (just calling extensions and leaving voice mail)   Is there a jump start config that would accomplish this?   What is the recommended SoftPhone that is "Open Source"     Thanks!
