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><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 25/04/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">shadowym</b>

<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 href="mailto:sunil@koltelecom.com">sunil@koltelecom.com</a> [mailto:

<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 with Asterisk NOW?<br><br> 4. Is the CD a complete installation package?<br><br> 5. If im looking for hiring a server on a remote location how will i<br>be able to install it?
<br><br><br>If someone can guide me on it, that would be great. Also i would like the<br>users to share a bit on their experiences with it.<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Danny.<br><br>_______________________________________________
