[asterisk-users] To use asterisk or proprietary hardware, that is the question

[shadowym]

Thanks for the comments Kristian,

I don't really have the skills to make the Digium GUI work on astlinux but
if it is that natural of a fit I look forward to the day someone does it and
makes it publicly available.  Astlinux + Digium GUI + Sangoma analog card
support would be a magical combination IMHO!

shadowym,

  With a little work one could use the Digium GUI and the existing front end
to rc.conf to provide a complete GUI for an AstLinux system using %100 open
source components.  Everything you need except the GUI itself is already
there (PHP, http/https server - even sqlite).  All you have to do is provide
the PHP...

  As Darrick mentioned I have been working with Sangoma to get their cards
supported in AstLinux again.  Look out for the announcement of AstLinux
0.4.5 and AstLinux 0.5.0, both of which should feature full Sangoma support
(along with Digium cards, of course)!

  Whether or not AstLinux can meet your needs it would be much better to use
something that is OSS/Asterisk based.  Looking at your requirements, it
shouldn't be that hard.
