Well the Phoenix Asterisk Users Group is going to be organizing. I do know this first hand. =-) Alas AdminsParadise is officialy a dead project. Elastix has hylafax bundeled in thier distro... The biggest problem right now with trixbox is that there are 4 people that work on it...2 developers and a sales guy and a Package dude..Oh and dont get me started on the fact that your trixbox has a cron job that sends your data to trixbox servers...this was a HUGE fiasco about a month back....This was previously unreleased info to the community. Fonality has put all of their money and energy in trixbox PRO..(which is a peice of cr@p) You can compile on the back end...HA but if they do not support the card you cannot configure it in the GUI....and void any waranty bla bla bla..... ----- Original Message ----- From: "JD Austin" To: "Main PLUG discussion list" Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2008 1:13 AM Subject: Re: Asterisk (geek girl) >I used trixbox until Fonality took them over. > The problem with trixbox and it's predecessor asterisk@home was that > releases were seldom released without major issues. > I spent more time fixing delivered bugs than anything else. > The upside of that is that I learned a lot about asterisk and freepbx. > I got used to immediately upgrading every core component right after > install. > Now days I don't use Trixbox at all. > I've tried several other distributions and for a time liked > adminsparadise because it bundled hylafax/avantfax. > They stopped updating so I started updating it myself; now their site is > gone :( > I've been using PBX In A flash since it existed and of all the distros > it's been the most stable out of the box. > If it had hylafax/avantfax bundled and oslec it would be perfect. > End point manager was nice though pbxinaflash has command line tools to > set up > snom, aastra, grandstream, polycom, cisco, and linksys..
