I love the fact that there is no GUI. I have never used any GUI for asterisk, so that is certainly not a problem. XML is fine with me.
We are a pure VoIP environment. I have many wholesale SIP providers whom I interface with. AMD and SIT detection are very important to me. Because of that, I am exploring a relationship with Sangoma for their SIP based CPD product to satisfy those requirements. There are a couple things which I don't like... namely that it only runs on windows, but I may be able to ignore that for the time being. thanks.
