[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Administration and Management requirements (splinter from $200 AMP bounty thread)

[James Taylor]

Great, count me in.

I'll help with specs, docs, whatever.

I use a Linux based router  for WiFi & T1's: Mikrotik
Burn a CD, boot, install, load the "winbox" on a windows machine and start  
configuring.

Ever try to config a MAX TNT via telnet?
There's now a Maxxmaster GUI (windows).

I can only hope that the two Asterisk boot & install CD's that are out  
there, boost hardware sales for Digium.

I would anticipate that a really good "management" application would help  
sales as well.

I don't think that any Asterisk consultants will suffer from a really good  
management app.  You still have to know what you are doing.
