Setting up IVR\AMS

[pritesh_karma]

Hi,
Im very new to the whole IVR VOIP thing...
How would i go about setting up a server that would allow me to Automatically dial out to my clients,
Present them with a few options(kinda like voicemail, press 1 for this... press 2 for this...) depending on what they select.
And record these options.

I can do the db interaction... but i kno nothing about setting up the server, software, etc. from what ive read so far... asterisk, free switch, yate, might be a good start.

But lets say i got a server(Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz) and the software, where to next.

If you are completely new to VoIP then i would suggest you get Triixbox and install it on your server. Its a distro dedicated to Asterisk and its a good starting point to get a basic system up and running. Its even got IVR features that are a couple of mouse clicks to setup.
