[asterisk-users] A question about an install i have been asked about...

[Barry D. Hassler]

The short answer is sure, one * box can handle multiple companies, each with
their individual "personalities"  This will take some dial-plan coding,
which may be difficult in the trixbox environment. There are "GUIs" which
proclaim to specifically support this type of environment -- Thirdlane being
an instance I've heard of (but have not used).  I have installations with
this specific environment, but using all custom dialplan coding.
