Excellent thread Scott, I hope your ready for the feedback! On a general note, I think the solution is fairly simple and straightforward to setup, certainly as an IP Telephony platform its much simpler than a lot of the other solutions out there... I don't have a production solution yet, so may not have a true reflection of the complete solution. However, testing so far has brought up the following things that I think could be simplified, or have the documentation improved with sample configurations etc... Diagnosis - Im not a Linux admin, and try and keep all changes in the Web UI as much as possible. It would be good to get SIP Viewer (or a basic version) accessible via the Web UI. Secondly, some tool or utility to allow you to enter a dial string and see how the dial plan would handle it. You can do this on Cisco gateways, and always proves to be a useful tool, especially if you have a large diaplan with prefixing, digit stripping or transform masks etc... Upgrades - I know upgrades are much easier now, but they can still be made simpler I believe, especially for systems that do not have Internet connectivity. If you could download a single file called something like 404to42upgrade, it would make it easier, rather than having to copy a whole bunch of files. Voicemail - I think this functionality needs further development to make user administration simpler e.g. message size quotas, an interface view of used/free storage space. Soft-phone - I know we have the SIPXtapi development kit, but I think it would be really good for the project to have a simple soft-phone for all the popular OS platforms that allows users to test/deploy all SipX features. I have tested lots of softphones over the past few months, and cannot find a good open-source product that is good enough to deploy to users. The FreeSwitch project are working on FSComm, it will be interesting to see how that develops. Finally, I think people could get further sooner if there were sample configurations that could be used as a starting point. Recently, Steffan provided an excellent sample config for a Cisco ISDN gateway IOS config. I know it really helped me and a few others to get something setup much quicker than having to start from scratch. The suggestion of a tested phone/gateway section sounds brilliant! Hope these points help!
