Hello, I have made many changes/improvements/bug fixes to the Asterisk GUI client I have written in Perl/TK and have released a third beta version on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/astguiclient/ Here are the screen shots of the client application running on Linux and Windows: http://www.freedomphones.net/astguiclient_linux_0.9.gif http://www.freedomphones.net/astguiclient_windows_0.9.gif 0.9 - Third public release - 2004-02-05 The majority of the work in this release it to make it more stable and fix some pretty bad bugs. We created the Asterisk Central Queue System to address the problem with buffer-overflows in the manager interface of Asterisk causing total system deadlocks. We also completed and touched-up many other features that we didn't finish in previous releases. Here is the list of changes: - Several bug fixes - Inclusion of listing for active SIP/Local channels and ability to hang them up - Completely changed the method of conferencing to be more fluid - Added HELP popup screen - Added intrasystem calling funtionality - Updater changed to allow for SIP/Local channels - Recording for conferences is now able to record all audio in and out - Added ability to send DTMF tones within a conference - Changed alert window for updater being down timeout to 20 seconds - Added an option for using the new Asterisk Central Queue System(ACQS) that reduces the risk of deadlocks that occur with buffer-overflows on remote manager interface connections - Included new script to run at boot time and rotate the logs as well as a keepalive script for the new ACQS - Changed non-AGI server-side scripts to allow for a single config file - Detailed activity logging to text file option added - Activity logging added to all non-AGI server applications We have been using the same basic client for the last four months here at my company and it is running well on over 60 machines. Let me know what you think of it, especially the new Asterisk Central Queue System that is included with it. MATT---

I would really like to use the utility you have written. Is there any installation help or instructions for win32? Pardon my ignorance. Thanks, Dustin
You do have to add some extensions, copy some files and have some scripts run on your Asterisk server, as well as have a MySQL database set up on a machine somewhere before you can install the client on a machine. All of that is explained in the documentation included with the package. As for the Win32 client, it's fairly easy, just download ActivePerl from Activestate.com and install it, then copy the libs folder and AST_WINphoneAPP_0.9.pl to C:\AST_VICI then customize the C:\AST_VICI\libs\AST_VICI_conf.pl file for your phone and you're ready to go. The package also installs in relatively the same way on Linux and in-fact runs the exact same code as it does on Win32(For linux we recommend using the ActivePerl RPM instead of default perl because of a perl/TK memory leak). It's not a simple one step setup like some other Asterisk GUI clients, but this package was made to be very flexible and easy to change, in ACQS-mode it relies entirely on the MySQL server to run having no contact with the Asterisk server directly making it much harder for the average user to inadvertantly crash the Asterisk server. If you need any more detailed help setting it up let me know.
