Ok, is it time for my comments on all of this?

If this is the case, obviously you need more experience in creating user friendly web frontends. Some that I have seen are brilliant and look great on any OS. PHP is best suited to what we are trying to do, because it's powerful, it has all the feature we want to use and it runs on the server. Introducing FTP transfers and other such mechanisms is just asking for trouble. Plus tying it to a windows system is very Anti-productive.
Then please reread the whole of my argument. I was arguing only against
a front end that couldn't be used on other platforms also. This is why I
was so down on VB, it is only usable on Windows. I was mildly down on
.net stuff only because of the potential to have the mono rug ripped out
from under you. At least with a C++ app and a cross platform widget set,
you could write for windows and get linux and BSD for nearly free.
Steven, i resent the discrimination of VB programmers, especially the comment: "those types of programmers are unlikely to use linux in any fashion". I've been writing in VB for 8 years and it was the first language I learnt. I still use it occasionally. Even though I use C on both windows and Linux, Python and now PHP. It has it's uses. :) Agreed though that this admin project is not one of them. :)
As for the rest of this discussion, I have already started work on this Asterisk Web Interface. (visit http://astweb.sourceforge.net). The current release is still only the CDR section, but things are starting to evolve and I expect to have something usable in the next few weeks. It is being written in PHP and will attempt to use ZERO OS-DEPENDANT code.
