my best offer to you is to read more about the dial plan to understand what
happens.. or try to understand what does freepbx do and what does it write and
understand the applications..

A. BC are pre-packaged and are useful for some things, but if you
deviate too much, they aren't very helpful. As a matter of fact, if you
modify a text file in AsteriskNow in one of the sections that it uses,
it causes the gui to freak out and it won't parse right. Plain old

Would I be better off starting with:
a) Plain old asterisk from asterisk.org?
(tutorial suggestions?)
b) AsteriskNow
c) Trixbox (not Pro)

Asterisk: The Future of Telephony aka the Starfish Book (becuase of the
starfish on the cover) is a great place to start...
O'Reilly and the authors have been kind enough to make the entire book
freely available online:

Plain Old Asterisk. Keep in mind that I'm an old Linux jock, and a
30-year veteran of programming, so the only thing I had to learn was

But since you have a dial-plan that does most of what you want, why not
extract the dialplan (extensions.conf, etc.) and start with that?
I may be showing my ignorance here, but from what I 'understand',
there are two ways to save config
I found asterisk built from source with freePBX added was the best solution for
us.
I would have stayed with pure asterisk, but I have a staff of people that do
not know the ins and outs of the config files.
freePBX gives them a very easy way to add new phones and extensions and the use

I was trying to come up with a definitive answer for your question.
I use Trixbox/FreePBX but thats because I have a several systems that I
maintain. I couldn't remember all the clients configuration files and in
some respects the GUI is self documenting. I also share the admin of these
systems so

Please take a look at Thirdlane PBX Manager. It gives you both management
