None of them depend on eachother. We use FOP, ARI and Reports (areski stats) here too without FreePBX. Simply download them and look at their README/INSTALL files. -- Michiel van Baak michiel@vanbaak.eu http://michiel.vanbaak.eu GnuPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x71C946BD "Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users?"
I can confirm this. AMP/TrixBox is a wonderful project but if you like to tweak something or you became a more experienced user, it will became soon as a straitjacket. I'm still struggling to clean AMP config files to work with a plain Asterisk install. _____ From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Jordan Novak Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 2:24 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Trixbox maunual configuration I love the added apps installed with trixbox, ARI, Web-Meetme, FOP, and Reports are great.

As pointed out, just build your own system.
If you understand the Freepbx dialplan, you can usually do almost anything you
want in _custom files including redefining contexts in such a way that upgrades
do not wipe them out. It's simply a matter of spending some time to see what
is being done and then extending it. On the other hand - there are some more
difficult scenarios to get around and plenty of other good reasons to just role
your own. You can have one, the other or the best of both if that has value to
you and you are willing to understand the dialplan, config and how to integrate
into and work with it. (I use all three, depending on the scenario)

AMP/TrixBox is a wonderful project but if you like to tweak something or you
became a more experienced user, it will became soon as a straitjacket.
