[General] VoIP For Home Usage

[Majed B.]

I can finally receive and make calls on the landline (PSTN)!

I have no clue what made it work... Gonna take a backup of the current
configs and try to make it work again (and compare the config files to
a fresh installation).

One post in a forum mentioned it was because asterisk was being
launched too soon...

Ahmad,
Any progress on your end? Have you been able to work your card?
