Thank you.
Last question... I think.

I downloaded version 1.4.11 from the site mezzo.net/asterisk/ as this  
is the site a google search returned when I looked up Asterisk for the  
Mac.

Is this the same version listed from asterisk.org?  Or are the  
asterisk.org versions Linux only?  The reason I ask is I would like a  
GUI interface, but don't see one available from mezzo.net.
