At the most basic level, typically an appliance will have a GUI and be geared towards non-tech installation. Loading bare Asterisk on a server is very different. Do you want a GUI or bare Asterisk?<div><br></div><div>BTW, the MyPBX product is not a Digium product, it's from an oriental company named Yeastar. My experience in talking to them about their phones has been so-so. Historically we've had awful experiences with other Chinese phone vendors and have stopped considering products from Chinese companies. We did not actually try Yeastar products.</div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I am looking into advising a client on the pro's and cons of using<br>
Installing asterisk on a server vs appliance(e.g digium mypbx). the<br>
appliance seems cheaper initially.<br>
