In the sixth video in this 10 part video series on Asterisk, we finally get to have some fun. I show you how to use a software based phone, or Softphone, to make calls using Asterisk directly from your computer.
My particular preference for a Softphone is X-Lite, which you can get for free at www.counterpath.com. It is very easy to use and setup, provides a great interface, and it provides good quality of service for your calls.
After some brief configuration of the X-Lite Softphone, which I explain in the video, you will be ready to make your first test!
