I was able to get the F13 version (asterisk-1.6.2.0-0.6.rc3.fc13.i686) of asterisk working on F12. I was also able to get dahdi-linux working using the trunk from Digium (some kernel build opts changed since 2.6.30 which break 2.2.0.2) and a spec file from messinet.com with very minimal changes.

Thanks for doing this!
Can you put the steps you took, etc. on a wiki page so the rest of us who haven't done this before don't have to start from scratch?
Thanks, John

I think the process for that machine was specific to me. I had been running asterisk to allow phones to be used within our house. We don't have a land line any more and it's really convenient for my wife to pick up a phone and have the one by my desk downstairs ring. I am also playing with sip connections to fedora talk. I needed dahdi-linux to make the phones work. Most of you (excepting Jeff) probably don't have the hardware and don't want to play with dahdi-linux. The sip configuration is also specific to me and needs some changes to fix some problems with the way it is working. Hopefully I'll get that done and update my documentation on using asterisk with Fedora Talk to include what I learn. (See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bruno/Using_Asterisk_with_Fedora_Talk if you are curious.)
When I get the information about the configuration I'd like to replicate that on another box I have available. I think it would be worthwhile to document that process assuming I get the config information enough in advance.
A brief summary of what is mostly needed is to install the asterisk 1.6.2 from F13 on an otherwise F12 system. You only need the plain asterisk rpm. There are a bunch of extensions available as related packages, but none of these is required for a basic asterisk setup. Asterisk is controlled by initscripts so you use chkconfig to set which run levels you want it started in. You can also use the service command to start/restart it for testing. Warning if you run the asterisk binary as root some log files may get owned as root which will cause you grief. Running it through the service command does the right thing. You can run asterisk -r to connect to a running asterisk instance and getting live status information. Inbound sip connections are on port 5060. Some related data uses port 8000. I am not sure if there is an iptables module that tracks that a data connection to port 8000 is related to a connection on 5060. (5061 is used for secure SIP connections, but I haven't been playing with that yet.) I just opened both ports for my testing. The only config files that were necessary for me to get it work were: asterisk.conf dahdi_channels.conf indications.conf modules.conf sip.conf chan_dahdi.conf extensions.conf
And you shouldn't need either of dahdi_channels.conf or chan_dahdi.conf.
