I'm an Asterisk newbie myself. I have shopped around and looked at the various possibilities. A good place to start is just deciding where you want to run Asterisk. I have purchased this kit to run it at home.
If you want to go that route let us know what operating system you are using so we might make recommendations.
Since you are thinking about taking this step another option is to run your own Sipsorcery server. I personally prefer Asterisk with the little experience I have.
Thanks a lot guys. I'm pretty much looking for the shortest pain path. I can use the Pi or the hosted VM (which has pretty good pricing and services btw).
It is true, I'd considered running SipSorcery locally, but there was a lack of writeups and howtos available. It just appeared to be too much of a learning curve. I liked the Asterix callback idea because I've been looking at it as a solution for a while but never knew how to get into it, since I didn't know which one would be best. And that's what Sipsorcery would do also.
I even was looking at purchasing that same Canakit Pi Kit yesterday after some research, but like you said, I also thought I could run local VM to play with.
So here is checklist / thoughts on how I would do this. Please feel free to correct any missing steps
- Setup DID (I did this already with Calcentric, so CHECK).
- Configure DID on GV. CHECK
- Select a Pi, VM or PC (I was going to testrun with a VM but could also use Pi
- Install Debian Wheezy
- Install Asterix (this is shown in your instructions)
- Intall and configure pygooglevoice (again shown in the instructions)

I mainly followed the instructions from twinclouds.
Do let me know if you have specific questions (although I am not getting reply notifications from the forum, at the moment).
I think the page you pointed to is a great resource, It appears that there is a large Asterix community and writeups than for Sipsorcery.
The VPS appear to be available to buy, however my question was if I was just trying to test out, I guess I will still need to have it setup with my domain info correct?
Finally, are there latency issues I should be concerned about with regards to where Asterix is hosted?
