Hello Antony,
as written before, Kamailio is from its design and setup targeted to many different use cases. For certain use cases you find examples or tutorials in our wiki. But if the example fits to your case, is mostly a matter of luck and how common it is.
Well, I had at least expected to find some documentation on how to get it doing something basic which is easy to test, but I'm still struggling to find such guides.
Maybe I have the wrong idea about what's a simple setup, and I should learn how to do what everyone else thinks is a simple place to start?
The module documentation is indeed more in "reference" style, useful for somebody who knows how to combine the building blocks, but for a newcomer admittedly less useful.
I have no problem with that provided there's a guide to "where to specify your modules".
There exists a Kamailio book (refer to asipto.com) which might be useful for your situation. Here you will get a more broader picture about the different modules and how they can fit together.
Thanks, I'll take a look.
Another approach which some people are using is to start with the default configuration (which has a lot of comments) and experiment with e.g., a small server and 1-2 phones. For more advanced topics there exists many talks from past Kamailio World conferences.
I'm very happy to experiment - I have enough SIP phones to play with and I can easily create an Asterisk VM as a server to register to and run a dial plan on.
Thanks for the pointers.
Antony.
