David, Great feedback.
It would be easy enough to add a button or link to jump you to the asterisk-gui, but I'm holding off on that for the moment. It appears that editing your *.conf's within some gui is your biggest remaining issue. It makes me a little uncomfortable supporting text editing, possibly large, files via PHP, I will look into that a little more. Obviously a web template to the asterisk *.conf files would be preferred. But there is that extensions.conf... And we want to keep this all in the sprit of an embedded platform. Still pondering...
