Well, with PhoneCALL - it's designed to be just a GUI for Asterisk, not 
a self-contained installation of Asterisk.  This is most beneficial for 
developers, integrators and engineers who want to build their own 
servers/applications/services and have a versatile GUI to handle the 
front-end.  This creates opportunity for the guys who want to build on 
any platform that supports Apache/PHP(BSD, Mac, Windows, Linux), and 
still have a way of professionally configuring their box. 
For features:
Probably the biggest is PhoneCALL is Multi-Tenant capable and 
multilingual capable.  It has the same 'modular' design as Asterisk 
where you can create any number of scripts, IVR menus, phone templates, 
realtime status monitoring for Calls and Queues, CDR reporting, and soon 
billing - all builtin.  Since all these components are modular - it's a 
snap to upload a new 'app_x.so' and create a script/macro for it, then 
start using it.  And, we are adding a 'Asterisk at Home' installation 
script for next release, in the event you do want to run PhoneCALL on A at H.

Hope that helps explain a little more.
