Im in the process of installing Asterisks for clients and the question i need answered is "whats best practice for Asterisk". Should i use trixbox or freebpx or should i install manually. Im getting very conversant with Asterisk dailplan and concepts. What i am doing currently is looking at macros written in perl for trixbox and converting them to dailplan extension language. Im doing this so as to increase my learning curve quick. Should i install a gui, one of the free billing softwares, sugarcrm. etc etc Thanks

What it needs from the dialplan is the manager command ExtensionState . -- Tzafrir Cohen sip:tzafrir@local.xorcom.com icq#16849755 iax:tzafrir@local.xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 tzafrir.cohen@xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com
Could you explain a little more - what are the best tools for a bare bone asterisk install. would you use a gui maybe for clients to add extensions, gui to monitor calls and asterisk usage and managent concerns.
