Hi again,
I guess I wasn't very clear in my question.
AFAIK, the packages Henry lists below are variants of asterisk with
different GUI-based configuration methods. They do not offer any features that
are not in the base asterisk system, only simplified configuration via a GUI.
Please correct my understanding here, as appropriate.
Rather, what I was asking was about analogous (perhaps rooted in
asterisk inprevious incarnations, such as Call Weaver) open-source PBX systems
with "better" or "different" capabilities from asterisk. I have no problem
configuring with a Command Line (editing the config files manually). In fact,
because of my personal circumstances, I cannot use a GUI, and prefer to
understand/know-why things are done a certain way.
So far, Simon's answer re FreeSwitch for high-volume calls is the only
response directly addressing my question.
Thanks again, and sorry for any lack of clarity on my part...
