[Asterisk-Users] NetworkWorld article on Open Source Telephony

Ditto on Avaya...

My $75,000 Avaya Definity G3Si has a GUI that simply wrapps the CLI.  If you
don't understand the CLI you can't use the GUI.

Their Java apps for their interaction center / ip office suck, I prefer the
.conf solution.  Easier version control and more concrete.

Ditto on the Mitel ICP 3300. It's just a GUI layer on top of their command
line crap that they dusted off from the SX-2000. Mitel had a great
opportunity to redefine PBX managment and they kind of p*ssed it away
because their managment stuff was designed by engineers, not GUI designers.
At this stage, from what I can see, there's no functional difference between
configuring * vs my 3300. So, take heart, * users, Mr. Spenser's little
project is, IMHO, equivalent to what an army of Mitel engineers took years
to do.
