[asterisk-users] How do you like TrixBox?

[Chris Ramsey]

I agree with Mohamed. TrixBox is an excellent way to start, but in the long
run, if you attempt to use Asterisk in a business setting, you will probably
want to be able to hardcode the conf files yourself. I have only recently
changed over to TrixBox from a standard installation on a debian system.
Honestly, I really don't use FreePBX much at all. I use it to create new
extentions for VMB's since I need to create a number of them every day for
users on my website, but overall I code my own dialplan. I don't really
understand FreePBX well enough, nor do I really want to put in the effort of
learning it since I can already hand-code. TrixBox just has a couple of
nifty features that I enjoy to make daily life a tad easier.
