[asterisk-users] SugarCRM, NO!, Foxpro, SI?

[Paul]

I fully understand that but the OP says the programmer "does not seem to
be comfortable with SugarCRM, MySQL and php". That is quite different
from "It's easier to build on the code I already have". If I had
resisted growth and change over the years, I might be looking for ways
to integrate FORTRAN and RPG2 with asterisk today. How about punchcards
for the CDR's?
