What problems? Which version? It works very, very well for me.
As long as you need to do things the way that [EMAIL PROTECTED] has decided is
the
"correct" way to do things. If you need to step outside of the basic
parameters for which it was originally intended and do any minute
amount
of customization, the chore becomes ominous. The name of the
product is
"Asterisk At Home" not, "Asterisk At A Small Business".
This is definitely FUD. It is called [EMAIL PROTECTED] because it
includes an interface for smart-home controllers, not because it only
works for household installations. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is simply a bundle of
Asterisk, AMP, SugarCRM, FOP, and a number of other goodies. It is
not feature limited or somehow hobbled. As has been mentioned on this
list before (by me, even...) [EMAIL PROTECTED]/AMP does indeed provide ways to
customize the installation. I, for example, have customized it to
send a particular ZAP channel to a ring group instead of following
the "Incoming calls" settings in AMP.
Now, if you are the type of person who wants unlimited control over
asterisk, then you shouldn't use AMP/[EMAIL PROTECTED], because the GUI necessarily
places limits on the level of customization you can make. However, I
would venture a guess that at least 95% of small businesses are
looking for a system that is full-feaured, affordable, and reliable.
They are much less concerned with massive customizability. (Witness
the success of the AT&T/Lucent/Avaya Partner systems with small
businesses. Far less customizable or full featured than [EMAIL PROTECTED])

PS: We still don't know what version of [EMAIL PROTECTED] gave you problems...
