This guide is not meant to be a detailed Manual for TRIXBOX®; instead it is just a quick and dirty guide and a resource to assist you get started with minimum pain. Use this document only as a guide, not as a Gospel. It does not cover all minute details, variations and possibilities of TRIXBOX neither will it provide you with a complete solution.
If a complete solution is required for your specific requirement, I suggest you obtain the service of a VOIP consultant who will design your solution for a fee.
This document was compiled with input from dozens of participants in the Whirlpool - in particular, Peter Q, Chippy, Rob Thomas and Leslie (Un-Nefer), and other forums to whom I owe a great deal while learning how to configure TRIXBOX. These people have helped me whenever I get into some difficulties – and there are many difficulties and counting.
If this document is of some use to you, I take no credit for it. I invite others to participate in improving this document. Please send me your feedbacks; so together we can make this document a valuable resource for our peers, experienced and new alike.

Caveat: (Don’t you just hate having to say this..)
In its Basic form, all that I have outlined worked for me but it may contain many errors, omissions and typos that can do with a lot of extra corrections. While I have taken due care in compiling this document, however, it may not necessarily be suitable for your individual configuration. I do not take; neither will I accept any responsibility for any losses incurred due to actions or inaction conducted as a result of method or advice found in this document.

I have received numerous emails asking for assistance. Since I am putting a lot of efforts into providing personal assistance to those who have sent me donations, the volume of email I received has become unmanageable.. While I will try to assist within my limited knowledge, I hope you will understand if I don’t answer each and every email
I am not an expert on Asterisk and therefore I do not have all the answers. I ask those requiring assistance to post their questions in the Whirlpool Forum or Trixbox Forum (forum participants may not answer any question if the solution is already in this guide) where there are many knowledgeable Asterisk and Linux savvy participants who will be able to assist with TRIXBOX.
