I used Bayonne for 2 years before switching to Asterisk. Right now I'm still running Bayonne on one application and it's been running happily without me looking at it for over 6 months. I'd say these are
the strengths of Bayonne: - Runs on Dialogic, Pika and other widely available hardware - extremely reliable, mine never crashes and here are the weaknesses: - nowhere near as active of a support community as Asterisk has - configuration of the hardware/drivers is a nightmare compared to Asterisk/Digium - it is quite limited in it's included apps, IVR and voicemail - not as many options for scripting as Asterisk - it was not designed to have full PBX functionality, some PBX functionality is added as afterthought - the code/organization/flow is not as well thought out or documented as Asterisk is And yes, they can run fine together(I'm not using VOIP, just a T1 out of Asterisk to Bayonne to test and see if it would work). The IVR application that I currently still have running on Bayonne is only still on Bayonne because it can never go down, and Bayonne has proven itself to me to be extremely stable, while I cannot personally say AT THIS TIME that an Asterisk box would stay up for over 6 months with no crashes. At last check I was never able to get VOIP inbound working on Bayonne, maybe this has changed in the last 6 months but if you do get it working I'd be interested to find out how.

I'm currently using only Bayonne, but I'm investigating the possibilities of switching the telephony frontend over to Asterisk, and have Asterisk route the IVR tasks to Bayonne through H323. Anyone care to share his views on this approach? Any pointers or do's and don'ts? All info is greatly appreciated! Regards, Dirk-Jan -- Dirk-Jan Wemmers, Capcave B.V.
