Thanks all for the ideas and suggestions. Fireworx and switchvox seems interesting.
I have played with [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2.2 onwards, then trixbox and now finally pbx-in-a-flash from nerd vittles...... I have had plenty of hands on with freepbx, what I was curious about was if freepbx still scales for business type customers or if there are better gui optinons for that..... For those who havent tried pbx-in-a-flash, I would recommend this, as its asterisk 1.4 wih the newest stable freepbx release etc. Can freepbx properly work with 2 pri's, 60 extensions, 2 or more call que's without too much performance degradation?

Most use Freepbx for PBX management and combine these with Asterisk packages for system admin, extension display and other useful things. If you just want a straight PBX GUI then you should download Freepbx. For business use I personally like Elastix, although Trixbox CE is fine if you don't mind the "phone home" that comes with this release. Whatever you choose you will download an ISO image and burn it on to a CD. Once you have a CD, you install Linux + Asterisk and Freepbx in one shot (in about 20 minutes) If all goes well (and it usually does) the install will indicate an IP address where you can access the GUI. Just crank up your Firefox and away you go. Start by configuring your first extension i.e. 200 with Vmail You can check the extension by dialing yourself (200) which surprisingly enough will be "busy" and go to vmail. Leave yourself a message and then dial *97 and enter your password ...you will hear your message. Next, configure your VoIP trunk ( I like to use Unlimitel IAX trunks because they go through firewalls like a hot knife through butter) If you want to access your system remotely or you want external extensions and you don't have a fixed IP address you will need to set up a dynamic domain name, this is a piece of cake if you have a recent Linksys router with DYNDNS configuration. There is lots more but that's the fun Open Source software. Happy Trails...

I'm guessing it's about 2 months ago now.
