[asterisk-users] Asterisk Business Edition Question

[sunil at koltelecom.com]

Hi all,

Thanks for the posts. We i think i should have elaborated on myself a bit
more.

Even though im nore a pure Linux guy i do have knowledge on linux. I had
been Using TRIXBOX right from ver 2.4. I do know what exactly asterisk is
and i am currently hosting 2 asterisk servers at remote locations and
managing them on SSH.

Why i was asking the question was because, i had a query from a customer who
wants to have a PBX. As they are a corporate and they want their own staff
to manage the asterisk remotely, i wanted to give him a hosted solution with
GUI so that they can manage on their own with some initial training on
managing it. they i bumped into Asterisk Business Edition and i thought of
going ahead on it.

All my questions were based on Asterisk Business Edition and not on my
choices of other parallel solutions. So if the answers to that point that
would be appreciates. Ofcourse i had a look at the comparison chart and if i
got it right, there is no GUI inbuilt.

Which means that i can give the customer a standard product.

       2. Is there a GUI to manage asterisk?
       3. Can it be compared with Asterisk NOW?
       4. Is the CD a complete installation package?
       5. If im looking for hiring a server on a remote location how will i
be able to install it?

So if anyone can talk about the above questions on Business Editions
Features that would be great.

Thanks
