In this chapter, we’ve covered a few more of the many applications in the Asterisk dialplan, and hopefully we’ve given you the seeds from which you can explore the creation of your own dialplans. As with the previous chapter, we invite you to go back and reread any sections that require clarification.

The following chapters take us away from Asterisk for a bit, in order to talk about some of the technologies that all telephone systems use. We’ll be referring to Asterisk a lot, but much of what we want to discuss are things that are common to many telecom systems.
