[asterisk-users] Asterisk Business Edition Question<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hi all,<BR><BR>Thanks for the posts. We i think i should have
elaborated on myself a bit more.<BR><BR>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. <BR><BR>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. <BR><BR>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. <BR><BR>Which means that i can give the customer a standard
product.<BR><BR>
<DIV style="DIRECTION: ltr"><SPAN class=q> 2. Is there
a GUI to manage asterisk?<BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="DIRECTION: ltr"><SPAN class=q> 3. Can it
be compared with Asterisk NOW?<BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV style="DIRECTION: ltr"><SPAN class=q> 4. Is the
CD a complete installation package?<BR></SPAN></DIV><SPAN class=q>
5. If im looking for hiring a server on a remote location how will
i be able to install it? </SPAN><BR><BR>So if anyone can talk about the above
questions on Business Editions Features that would be great.
<BR><BR>Thanks<BR><BR><BR>

you have an interest in learning a bit of Linux I would suggest looking <BR>at
Trixbox. I would not have said that 1 year ago but it has come a
long<BR>ways since then. Eventually as you learn more you can
install your own<BR>Linux/Asterisk/FreePBX from scratch just for the sake of
being able to learn <BR>more and have more control and less unnecessary
bloat. Trixbox seems to be<BR>working fine for most people in
production install these days though.<BR><BR>There is the option to install
AsteriskNow as part of the new TrixBox 2.2<BR>release which is in final beta
set to be production released very soon.<BR>Asterisk 1.4 and AsteriskNow are
still immature so I would not consider<BR>either of them for a production
install yet. AsteriskNOW is not nearly as <BR>full featured as
FreePBX yet. They included it as an optional install in the<BR>new Trixbox for
testing.<BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: <A

Edition Question <BR><BR>Hi,<BR><BR>Can anyone in the list help me with these
queries on Asterisk
Business<BR>Edition.<BR><BR><BR> 1.
Why would anyone choose the Business Editon when the whole thing<BR>is
avalable as GPL?<BR><BR> 2. Is
there a GUI to manage asterisk?
<BR><BR> 3. Can it be compared

Also i would like the<BR>users to share a bit on their experiences with
it.<BR><BR>Thanks<BR><BR>Danny.<BR><BR>_______________________________________________
