Asterisk / VOIP for small business

== Intro / Background == I've inherited an Asterisk (based) system, and I'm pretty happy about that. On the other hand, it's complicated, new and a critical system so I'm learning telephony as fast as I can. I work for a Real Estate company. We have 8 offices and we have ~200 agents in the

Hi Greg, I hope Fonality has removed the fact that they have a daemon with root access in PBXtra, which phones home. There has been a lot of press about that in the past. My previous employer had Fonality for a while... but they swiched to a non-phone-home version of Asterisk. I guess I'm a bit

soapbox I like Asterisk. A *lot*. And not just because it's cheap, but because you can get your hands as dirty as you'd like. Unfortunately, most (I'm tempted to say all, but lack of proof prevents me) distributions of Asterisk don't really really let you get in there. Most of them (for
