[Asterisk-Users] Web interface for Asterisk

[Andy Powell]

I tend to disagree and agree on this one. Someone on irc has already asked if there is any sort of interface to
allow the creation of voicemail boxes, primarily for use by the HR department to allow them to create them.

For those little things you might hand over to other people in a company a gui of some sort would be useful. However as any sort of implementor you'd want to get to the real config files. 

In all honesty once you start to understand the commands it gets pretty easy

All imho

Andy
