[Asterisk-Users] NetworkWorld article on Open Source Telephony

[Steve Totaro]

I like the way the 3com NBX system works.  The web interface is pretty
intuitive.  Adding users and devices is a snap through the GUI but to get to
the real meat you have to edit the dial plan.  To do this, you download a
text file to your desktop, edit it, then upload it again.
