Open Source VoIP Guide Part 1: An overview
,----[ Quote]
| Asterisk's strength is its flexibility, a product of the open source
| development model, Spencer says.
|
| "It's a very pragmatic technology that is designed to try to talk to
| everything, to be architectured in virtually every way and be able to support
| as wide a number of applications as possible. That has been the key to its
| success, but that absolutely would never have happened if it hadn't had been
| for its open source nature," he says.
|
| "As a company we can't focus on all the different markets, applications and
| technologies but, being open source, Asterisk can pursue all these directions
| because we have all these people who are taking it to all those places. Now
| we are really starting to see the benefits of that."

Replacing your legacy phone system with Trixbox
,----[ Quote ]
| As a communications consultant I have received many enquiries
| about VOIP as of late and as a Linux fan I have read much about
| the progress of the open-source Asterisk PBX project headed up by
| Digium. Utilizing the power and adaptability of Linux, one can build
| themselves an Asterisk based server on commodity hardware for a
| fraction of the price of a proprietary system. Installation and
| configuration can be very tricky however if you aren't blessed
| with Guru linux skills, enter Trixbox.
