Re: ISA2004, VOIP, Linux/Asterisk PBX Server

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

you dont need any linux skills as of about 6 months ago.

asterisk@home is a single iso cd that automatically installs and you can
then setup your requirements using the graphical interface.(dont be kidded
by the name - this can run a 200+ employee company out of the box).

To be honest I dont know why anyone is considering any of the
Cisco/Nortel/Avaya ip-pbx solutions.

iso is available from here
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=123387

Cheers,
