Re: [on-asterisk] asterisk web GUI's et-al
Hi Nick, you bring up a very good point. Trixbox contacts Fonality each time you use the web interface and maybe at other times too. I only noticed this recently when it was taking over a minute to access the first web page due to some problem they were having with their server. Anyway, the idea of Fonality accessing my client machines at any time keeps me awake at night! For the most part Trixbox has worked well, being quick to install and offering all the features that business clients needs. I don't think they actively leave bugs in it. Most of the applications are bundled together from other Open Source projects the main one being FreePBX who should really get the credit here. With any of the distro's I've mentioned you should have no trouble installing and configuring your system. I have installed Trixbox on a variety of machines from a Compaq Deskpro (at my office)to 1U servers. My test box is a 3.2 ghz CPU with 1 gig memory nothing special. -- Henry Nick Onoufriou Hi Henry, I just wanted to say that I appreciate all your personal feedback that you post in the asterisk list. We met over a year ago at tobys after an asterisk meeting. I have used Trixbox and Elastix as a learning tool only. I see that you actually deploy this at client sites. Have you had any major problems with this solution? I have spent a great deal of time trying to understand asterisk and freepbx. Since Trixbox was acquired by Fonality I saw it as complete no no to deploy this product. I'll give you some reasons and I would appreciate an honest feedback if you have the time. 1. Can you trust Fonality with your clients? Each time you install Trixbox its an invitation for your customers to contact Fonality. Any issue you can't solve right away your clients can pickup the phone and call Fonality. 2. Can you trust Fonality with the actual product they release. Remember that they make no money by releasing a fully working product. They do however make money from paid support. So if little bugs or problems come with each release its an opportunity for them to make some money or sway customers to their PBXtra product line. I know the same can be said about contacting Digium but your customers do not really see Asterisk/Digium, they see the gui which says trixbox.

[on-asterisk] asterisk web GUI's et-al
For those people who (like me) are getting fed up with Trixbox I am doing some evaluations of various other management tools (GPL) I plan to just give you a quick evaluation just to wet your appetite If you have an interest in these evaluations give me some feedback on what you think. The first one tried is CENTPBX This uses the latest Freepbx GUI framework and can be generated for * 1.2 or 1.4 Has everything Trixbox has in terms of features, plus a very useful Night Answer feature (*28) So far I like it because it runs 1.4 and has the complete feature set Rating (4 asterisks out of 5) -- Henry - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am quite interested in your evaluation of better GUI's for Asterisk. I have also grown weary of Trixbox, so please go ahead... I am eagerly waiting your final thoughts on the matter. C.

RE: [on-asterisk] asterisk web GUI's et-al
Yes, as a matter of fact I just took a brief look at this distro just a few minutes ago The gui is one of the best I've seen and it's nicely laid out BUT ...(and it's a big BUT) I can't find any feature codes page so I don't know if *98 is Voice mail or not and I can't find a list of feature codes anywhere...very odd. If any one knows where these are and what they are I'll take another look -- Henry Jim Van Meggelen Henry, I am curious as to how Digium has done with their development of AsteriskNOW. Is that one that you will be evaluating?
