benefits to ‘centrally served web services’ you only have to see
what I was trying to do 2 years ago with Tellme <a
href="http://www.cognation.net/asterisk/Tellme/index.htm">http://www.cognation.net/asterisk/Tellme/index.htm</a>
to see that I was a bleeding edge believer in webservices however…I think
the real issue people are feeling with Trixbox pro is that you are totally at
Fonality’s mercy – if they switch the services off (or worse
increase the price) you’re stuck.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

foray into pro was a little disappointing. The same experience as trying to
communicate directly with Fonality. I think that the centrally managed iPBX
platform certainly has merit though.<br>
<br>
We, along with our business partners are implementing a hosted iPBX offering
here in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Australia</st1:place></st1:country-region>
using Asterisk, Interactive Intelligence and an Alcatel solution. This will be
based on the model that says that where possible handsets register to the core
over a managed data service, on site proxy's will be used only for redundancy
and high user availability. This addresses the extra cost component in
the main. We also provide proxy registration by using a gateway (GSM) that also
has this function built in. CE is a great product and I understand the value of
central management of back-up files so we will deliver this as well. <br>

Hybrid hosted solution for Trixbox Pro doe not make sense to my client <br>
base. You still have to sell them a server and phones for the system.<br>
Why would they then pay a monthly fee per extension fee if they have<br>
already purchased all the equipment up front? I'm sticking with the free <br>
CE version for my customers. The only way I see this working is if the<br>
end user them selves buys a TrixBox Pro version and plan on having a<br>
service agreement from Fonality/TrixBox. Just my opinion.<br>
