<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Our current approach is slightly different
because our target (for now) is represented by a number of customers with
complex networking infrastructures and the need for running VOIP for business

support for hundreds of users, need for high availability and for all those
"architectural" stuff that are not so important in a soho scenario.</font>

I feel there is nothing wrong with having a web-based configuration<br>
utility, if set up correctly. Look at the WRT54G Linksys router, plus<br>
other countless devices that use an embedded browser for configurations.<br>
</tt></font>
<br><font size=3><tt><br>
Just a nitpick, if I may. They have embedded http servers, not<br>
browsers. But I'm sure that's what you meant.<br>
<br>
</tt></font>
<br><font size=3><br>
Yes - you're right, I was in a hurry. :-)<br>
</font>
<br><font size=3><tt>Having said that, I agree that putting streamlined
apache/php on an *<br>
box isn't going to cause grief. Heck, I'm breaking lots of rules,
and<br>
haven't running into problems (yet). I run _everything_ on my Athlon<br>
3000+/1GB Gentoo machine. Apache, postfix, named, mysql, courier-imap,<br>
firebird / avg tcp server, nagios, samba, X/Gnome, and vncserver/Gnome!
<br>
I even (gasp) play some games on it. I'm sure that slows down some
of<br>
the server functions, but I haven't noticed any problems (yet). I'm<br>
hoping to get my own dedicated server box soon to offload all the<br>
non-client stuff, but until then, it all goes on this one machine. Yes,<br>
this is a home setup, but with ties to work functions.<br>

These are the same needs a majority of the businesses we have ran into
- consolidation of services. And it's only a matter of time before
more & more companies will offer an all-in-one small business product
to handle most/all of their business communications. So you need
to have the hardware to handle the features, and well designed software
to be efficient. :-)<br>
