Well, for *, I fall into the newbie category (not for telephony, VOIP, Internet, *NIX, C, etc - those I've been doing since the Internet had 3 nodes :-) and each technology mentioned was a newborn)
I believe making it easy for folks to enter the * world will do nothing but sell Digium products, expand/improve *, etc. Keeping it in a 'you have to be an expert hacker' world will not. I personally would assist in a PHP (I assume) web GUI effort, and will definitely contribute 'simple' but complete mini-examples of conf files for * - that seems to be something lacking at present for a newbie like myself. And - yes - I've read the manual from end-to-end several times already :-) My testbed is a dual Xeon RedHat box (shows as a 4 CPU setup to top), tomorrow should provide a 4 FXS card and an FXO card and I have a fully deployed H.323 VOIP environment (Altigen) to play with. I'll snag a PRI card after I get things squared away - * will be my PBX backup to the Altigen until such a time as it proves itself superior... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gary Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 5:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Web interface for Asterisk I tend to agree with Steven on this... If the web form makes it easier for the "newbies" why not, its just another option.... It could even be expanded to be a dialplan for dunnies (woops, i meant dummies:-) interface.... Considering all it is, is an interface to write out a .conf file.... On Thu, 26 Jun 2003 17:04:28 -0700, Steven P.
