[asterisk-users] asterisk freepbx difference or solutions..

[Oguzhan Kayhan]

Hello, for a long time i am using asterisk 1.6 with astgui.

but for production system i intend to use asterisk 1.4 which i think might
be more robust. And for a more developed service options i preferd to
install with freepbx.
But still there are big plusses and minusses for both system.
My complain about astgui+1.6 was..
For example there were no backup trunk config running on that version.Even
they have it on gui screen when i check the extensions.conf it seems only
supporting a single trunk.Second. there were lots of options whcih was
absent on 1.6..like for voicemail it has *97 for selfvoicemail but no *98
for entering both phone+calledid, or call forwarding which most of my
users uses. I need to write them from the begining which will take most of
my time.
And for freepbx, i had the problem like i couldnt find how to group my
users for outgoing calls.For some users i want to give only local call
permissions for some including international calls etc.
And there are no group selection or creation for such needs.
So i wonder if theres any "all in one" solution for that??
or is there a way to solve my needs???
