Second in the Asterisk series from HotButteredIT
From the YouTube description:
"In the second video of this 10 part series on Asterisk, I explain how to run Asterisk, including various start and stop commands, and the directory structure. Due to Youtube's small video size, some of command line stuff is hard to see. You can view a 640X480 video on my website: www.HotButteredIT.com. They are currently free, but I'll have to keep an eye out on the bandwidth usage. Enjoy!"
