If Jared Smith is following this thread, and I am sure he is or will, WOW, what an opportunity to bring SwitchVox to the spotlight. (I personally really like SwitchVox and had over a year before Digium made the acquisition. I never had to reboot that box and it had ~40 extensions and a Digium T1 card.
Do a "try/buy" swap out and let it play out on the list. I think Digium/SwitchVox will shine. Just an idea but this thread is one of the hottest in a long while and bringing up many questions about Asterisk and GUIs. I could not think of a better place to sink or swim!
