Which is when I found AsteriskNow and TriBox and then started wondering if it was really necessary / worthwhile to figure out all the intricacies of the application if someones have already created the appliance version of it. In which case, I was very confused as to the difference btwn AsteriskNow and TriBox.
Thanks! Last week I posed a similar question to the list as a "noob". Specifically, I was curious why every one was so adverse to GUI implementations. Like you, I entered the asterisk world quite idealistic and oblivious to what is actually required to create a functional system (still am). I spent the good part of last week trying to make heads or tails of the AsteriskNOW distro, but finally gave up in favor of a plain jane Debian install with asterisk and wish I would have never wasted so much time trying to figure out how the users.conf worked. <quote> [TK]D-Fender - The users.conf is a flaming piece of sh**! <\quote> I actually thought that was a bit harsh when I read it...turns out to be quite accurate. Long story short, I'm learning to be quite comfortable in the CLI and finding myself more productive in nano (yes..nano) than I was in the GUI. Good luck! -jc
