They are complete 'kitchen sink' configs, and IMHO just serve to confuse - much better to start from a set of empty files and add a few lines at a time as you need them [and half of the files you don't need at all, since they relate to obscure modules that you won't be using]. Using Asterisk (and hence the open SIP or IAX protocols) gives you a huge range of hardware devices and commercial services you can use to put your system together, rather than being tied to the proprietary Skype stuff.home | help
