The one thing Asterisk has been missing

If you’re like most folk, setting up a PBX is something you’d rather avoid, especially when its an open source PBX that isn’t known for its easy configuration and installation. ISPBX aims to solve the pain with its drag-and-drop configuration tool, Cogoblue.

Drag a few phone object over to a ‘viewing pane’, add a few trunks, sprinkle in a some voicemail boxes and auto-attendants and valla! You’ve got yourself a voice network. Creating an IVR tree is about the same and an infinite number of IVR trees can be nested, says John Signorello, a partner at ISPBX.

Installing The Asterisk PBX And The Asterisk Web-Based Provisioning GUI On Linux

I have read about Asterisk and wanted to test it out as I will be managing/troubleshooting it at work anytime soon, so I thought of getting my hands dirty and getting some basic experience on it. First, I set up a box with Linux RedHat ES4 but I think any Linux distro would do. Kubuntu/Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva would work fine.

Open-source VoIP 'will be bigger than Linux'

Posted by comprookie2000 on Sun, 03/09/2008 - 13:35

Open Source VOIP will be bigger than Linux according to Jon “Maddog” Hall of Linux International as quoted by ZDNet UK.

“I predict that over next three years, VoIP using an open-source solution, such as Asterisk, will generate more business than the entire Linux marketplace today,” said Hall. “Today’s PBX solutions are incredibly expensive, closed source and proprietary. Asterisk is approximately one-tenth of the price of a proprietary PBX system.”
