[Asterisk-Users] Maddog weighs in on the state of the Linux [Asterisk plug]
http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/qna/0,289202,sid39_gci1022137,00.html Excerpt: -begin- What's the big story in enterprise Linux that's going to impact IT shops in the next year? Why? Hall: Actually, I think the next big story is in the VoIP [voice over Internet Protocol] space, and it is called "Asterisk." Asterisk is a F/OSS project that allows a complete PBX system to be implemented on an inexpensive PC with a couple of peripheral cards inserted. It has most, if not all, of the features that large, incredibly expensive PBX systems have. But most importantly, it is F/OSS, which means that a company can integrate the rest of their software into the PBX. -end- Cheers -- Jason Becker Director & CEO Coalescent Systems Inc. 403.244.8089 www.coalescentsystems.ca
