Hi

After someone mentionned it, I installed the Pound Key
distribution that comes with Asterisk, and the clone FXO card that I
bought through eBay seems OK ("Found a wildcard FXO: Generic Clone").

There are plenty of books and articles on Asterisk that I'm currently
reading, but... is there a quick test I can run to check that Asterisk
works with this card successfully?

I'm thinking something like having connecting the phone cable to the
FXO card, calling in from a regular POTS line, and having Asterisk
output caller ID to its log file, or something like that.

The next step being running a soft phone on a second PC, running XP,
and having the POTS phone and the soft phone connected

Thank you
