> I had to customize a few of the variables inside the PHP scripts for each
> server, but by putting them close to the top, it's not a real big deal

> I update the scripts to customize them for my servers.  Mind you, I only
> have 4 servers on this system, but we don't anticipate growing beyond one
> more server for a while.
>
> One thing to mention that I have found: use lots of macros.  Some of my
> macros require 6 or 7 arguments, but they are extremely flexible and
> trivial
> to generate on the fly through these tools.  Each extension fits in only
> one
> line in the dialplan (calls a macro).  Entries in the DB turn on and off
> features, sets the timeout, forwards to another extension or sends to
> voicemail, etc.
>
> Just what I'm doing.  Hope it helps.
