Looks like you snatched up either the programmers for flash-panel and 
asterisk-stat.  Both very nice programs

Nice work on the GUI configuration too as well.

As for the whole quality isn't there yet thing.  Well, you really need to 
qualify the statement.

I will definitely agree with you if you say it this way.  Using packetized 
voice over a bandwidth limited uncontrolled network with no performance 
guarantee will definitely result in quality and reliability that is sub par 
to the phone service that most citizens of the technologically advanced 
western countries are used to.  On the other hand VoIP (meaning Voice over 
IP) can provide sound quality that is on par with the best sound quality 
available in a circuit switched environment and for a tenth the price.

Every single good quality circuit switched installation is engineered, so 
why compare a Vonage style VoIP performance to an engineered circuit 
switched service?  You can't do what Vonage is doing with a Circuit 
switched system, so you can't really compare.

That being said, VoIP on a locally controlled network, connected to the 
PSTN is definately the way to go.  You leverage the advantages of both 
systems and save quite a bit of money compared to legacy designs.

And don't forget about those countries where the phone service isn't 
engineered at all.  I think you might find that the quality of a VoIP 
circuit to those locations far exceeds the quality of the local phone 
company there.
