asterisk users - Aug 2005 - Graphical Management Interface - Comments requested

Hi,
I want to start managing my asterisk boxes with a centralized
graphical based interface so I can (due to customers request) give
control to customers to add/change extensions to their current PBX
intallations such as (not complete list)
Add/del/mod extensions
sound recordings (ivr or voice attendants)
email to fax/ fax to email
voicemail to email
SIP and ZAP, no IAX needed
configure calls routes (server in office A to server in office B, etc)

What I want to do is lock them out of the command line (linux) and
provide them with some graphical tool (or some manageable mixture of)
that can also help me.

This list contains gpl and non gpl providers.

So far I have looked at.
ACTOS
PBX MANAGER from third lane technologies
AMP
PBXWARE
switchvox

So far I liked AMP (open source) but switchvox (paid) looks nice too.

Comments on AMP integration? I do not want to start a
discussion/flame, I just want some links to AMP modules and see if i
can build from different sources a "graphical interface that does
end-user pbx functions"

BTW call accounting and billing will be nice too.

Thanks,

In the next week to two weeks I'll be posting some information
concerning a system I've been designing.  It currently does three layer
hosted VoIP pbx services as well as hosted ITSP services (the model is
System Owner - you, Affiliates - pbx owner/operators or ITSP operators,
and end users).  The GUI is Zope/python based.  The system supports
automated clustering, fail-over, and server specialization (you can have
a centralized voicemail server if you like, you can centralize sip
registrations if you like, etc.).

The Hosted PBX model is in beta testing right now, and we are adding a
full billing/provisioning system in September.

The bad news, it's not going to be open source.

I'll have a web url soon for screen shots and an on-line demo.

For call accounting and billing, you can check out 
www.aleph-com.net/astpp  It is being prepared for another release which 
will work closely with AMP.

I can't comment on anything but AMP. I've found it very easy to use.
Most recently, I've switched to Asterisk@Home 1.5 which includes AMP +
other tools and found this package to be very interesting and intuitive.
I believe an SMB could manage Asterisk with a little guidance using the
A@H package.
