Asterisk version 1.2 - what's new?

 

Welcome to Edvina Training (formerly Astricon Training)!

This presentation is taken from the "Introduction to Asterisk" class. It covers the new features of Asterisk 1.2. There are many new features, so I can't claim to cover them all. And if it's a little bit focused on SIP, please excuse me...

Comments are appreciated. E-mail to oej@edvina.net.

This presentation was updated October 1st, 2005.
