Speaking of attacks that aren't fair.  Trixbox != FreePBX.  They're
completely separate products.

Well, thanks all of you who take the time to respond, although my question
wasn't answered it shows me the big picture on this matter. Since the
silence of Digium and the *NOW list I think this release will not arrive
before new year!

Thanks again...

Hi list,

Anyone knows about the date of the official (stable) release (v1.0) of
AsteriskNOW??? It's supposed to be at the end of this year, which is very
close now with no signs of it.

Thanks...

2007-12-18 Thread Steve Totaro
I asked the Adtran/Digium guys a similar question at the end of What's New at 
Digium at this year's Astricon in Arizona, which was just the announecment of 
the aquisition of SwitchVox.  

The reply was less than encouraging for future dev on the free GUI which is 
what I expected.  While very vague and obviously a question they were not ready 
for, the answer was something along the lines of Mumble, mumble, it will be up 
to the community to continue development.  

I ask, what is the incentive to put out a full featured GUI for free at this 
point?  

Take into consideration the SwitchVox aquisition and aslo the recent news from 
3Com.  I see no reason to continue dev on AsteriskNOW except the fact that it 
is rigged to move the end user to order phones through a link that will 
obviously take business away to anyone who has not sworn allegiance to Digium 
(and their first born) to become part of their food chain.  

FreePBX seems to be the most logical choice to me.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

2007-12-18 Thread Zaheer K. Master
Would it be possible to install FreePBX on an AsteriskNOW system? The one
thing I really like about AsteriskNOW is the reduced attack surface b/c it
is running on an rpath appliance. Are there any appliances out there that
combine asterisk with freepbx?

 

Regards,

Zaheer

That's incorrect.  At this time, there are no plans to discontinue development
of the free GUI.

 I ask, what is the incentive to put out a full featured GUI for free at

Well, for one, the appliance and any other hardware that is not beefy enough
to run Switchvox.

 Take into consideration the SwitchVox aquisition and aslo the recent news
 from 3Com.  I see no reason to continue dev on AsteriskNOW except the fact
 that it is rigged to move the end user to order phones through a link that
 will obviously take business away to anyone who has not sworn allegiance to
 Digium (and their first born) to become part of their food chain.

Not exactly a fair attack.  The GUI was designed to respond to a direct
end user complaint that they didn't know from whom to purchase extra phones.
The appliance is meant to help those specific people who do not know where to
go buy phones or how to provision them (and don't care to learn).

It's interesting, is it not, that Digium is simultaneously attacked in one
thread for not responding to user demands and another thread for giving end
users exactly what they demanded?

 FreePBX seems to be the most logical choice to me.

Which is being leveraged to take away business to anyone who has not sworn
allegiance to Fonality.  Sorry, couldn't resist.  ;-)
