Alejandro, how time & labour intensive is to set up Asterisk on a
daily use laptop?  Could Asterisk not be used by itself for all VoIP
needs per my superficial Asterisk understanding?

Was setting up Asterisk as simple as installing
/usr/ports/net/asterisk-bristuff or /usr/ports/net/asterisk1{2,6}?
