[asterisk-users] Professional Setup..

[ContactTel Business]

Hmm words professional and trixbox don’t go together.. 

 

Did they actually fix the part where they put register -> lines in between stanzas ?

 

 

Trixbox , etc is nice to play around in your home , behind a firewall..

 

Anything that runs daemons like that, and vicidials shaddy little irc server.. is something to fear, i like to think they make it on purpose to make it hard to clone the systems they make , again, when it will break , you’ll need to fully understand the underlying spaghetti code , or be forced to tell your client to go buy trixbox support@ $$$$ a year..

 

I personally HATE anything with trixbox in the name, but hey , it brings lots of paid support business.. 

Learn asterisk from scratch , you’ll save time in the long wrong.. 

 

You can make shell scripts to automate your installs, it’s probably faster than using a live cd that trixbox supply

Greetings,

I have a question for those who have done a few professional installs of Asterisk.   Is it taboo to use something like AsteriskNow/FreePBX/Trixbox to get a base installation of Asterisk installed and functional for a small office?  If not then do you always compile from scratch or use CentOS and the yum repositories?   I setup FreePBX for a friend of mine who runs a small call center and I feel guilty profiting from something that so many other people have worked so hard to create.  

Ironically www.asterisknow.org has a 'Download - Free" link but I don't see a 'donate' link.    I wouldn't mind demanding my friend contribute some amount to help Asterisk grow but I'm not exactly sure how to do that and what the appropriate amount should be.  I know Digium is a proud sponsor so I buy my phones, cards and refer people to their site if they need to buy equipment or an appliance.  

Has this topic come up for conversation in the past and if so then what was the outcome?

Thanks!
Dave
