<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color="#330000" face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>speaking of the gui being a work in progress and from
the banter about my switchvox post, I realized that I was so wrapped up in what
I was doing, I neglected to 'watch the marketplace'. for new
developments... <br>
<br>
it seems that each offering has at least one, probably more, unique takes on
solving the gui problem... <br>
<br>
when reviewing the thirdlane website, which was substantially updated since I
last checked, alex offers a unique product that allows a reseller entré into a
market where there is no way to get into that market with a solution such as
switchvox. <br>
<br>
where switchvox is a nice clean and bullet proof install for a biz that wants a
telephone system (like a key system) with an IVR they can work with themselves
and pretty much not muck it up, Thirdlane offers a gui that the reseller can
customize and brand as their own and, I suspect, add customized features
tailored specifically to that application of asterisk and that would otherwise
not be available in a gui form.... <br>
<br>
alex perhaps you can expand on this, as it is better to come right from the
horse's mouth.<br>

You are also very right that GUI is "work in progress" all the time.<br>
My point is is one and only: GUI is collection of knowledge, skills and <br>
experiences and lets not forget after sales service which are crucial to <br>
successful deployments.<br>
