Hello, I have finished my basic polishing of the Asterisk GUI client I have been writing in Perl/TK and have released a first beta version on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/astguiclient/ I am still working on a user manual for the application, but the code works and we have been using the same basic client for the last month here at my company and it is working just fine. I'm eager to hear what you all have to say about it, so send me those comments. Here are the screen shots of the same application running on Linux and Windows: http://www.freedomphones.net/astguiclient_linux.gif http://www.freedomphones.net/astguiclient_windows.gif MATT---

I am anxious to run it, but probably not going to switch backend DB servers in order to do so. I suspect there will be others with the same attitude. Thx. B.
Hi Matt, After a first look to the screen shoot, it sounds incredible... Good work ;P Will it work without Zaptel interface ?

Hello, The reason I used MySQL is for simplicity on the client end, there is a perl module Net::MySQL that requires no extra libraries to be installed on the machine, unlike Postgres module, and the Database routines used by this program are hardly database intensive. It's easy enough to install the Windows MySQL server in about 5 minutes on a machine somewhere on your network to test this out if you like. If you don't use the optional call loggin part of the client then you will probably never have more than 200 records in the MySQL database at any given time. You can even run this on the same machine you are running PostgreSQL if you like, the processor usage of the MySQL database machine if it is the only thing running with 60 astGUIclient computers connected and 2 Asterisk servers updating line records is about 0.2%, and the load average stays at 0.00 and that is on a PII 450. It would hardly hurt the performance of any machine you put it on. I use PostgreSQL on the backend of our company's financial transactional system (1 million+ transactions per week) and I love it(can't wait to see if 7.4 is really any faster:) ), but PGSQL is overkill for the client app, and the overhead on the client machine side(libraries/modules or server app middleware) needed to facilitate PostgreSQL is too much.

Hello, Thanks :) Sorry, it will not work out of the box without a zaptel device, you will have to go in and tinker with the code a bit if you want it to work. Also, some of the functions only work with Zap devices(call recording). Everything I do with Asterisk is with SIP devices and T1s through Digium cards, so haven't much use for a VOIP-only centric client app, but this code is adaptable so you could definately change it to suit your needs. I'm know there are several people out there that use asterisk without Zap devices so there may be a strong enough desire for it. If anyone is interested in modifying the code for non-Zap systems just let me know and I'll give you all the help I can.

Hello, If there's enough demand I can put a configuration variable into the client/server apps to have it switchable from MySQL to PostgreSQL. That should be fairly easy to do. I just need to know which Perl module for postgreSQL is the most acceptable one to use.

Since it is written in perl/tk, all that should have to be changed is the connect command, and maybe a few queries if they strayed very far into the mysqlisms. This is a case again of how OSS and self sufficient users are a good match. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
