Hello everyone! This time, we will guide you step by step on how to install Asterisk 1.8.7.1 and configure Google Talk to make free calls all across US and Canada.
For this tutorial I’m using CentOs 5.5. Let’s begin downloading and installing Asterisk and iksemel (iksemel is an XML parser library designed for Jabber applications.) on your server.
