[ILUG] PBX for home use

[JHallam]

  Niall,

I use elastix at home for messing around with. - http://elastix.org/
its quite straight forward to set-up and configure.
there are a lot of features built in too should you want to use them, IM 
/ Mail / CRM packages etc.

its currently hooked into a Blueface sip and has FX0 as well.

the only issues i had, were
it did not like hooking into freespeech.ie
IAX and blueface did not seem to work, that could just have been a 
blueface account setting.
you need to enable anonymous SIP calls to be able to receive sip calls 
through blueface, again it could have been my account or set-up.

all in all though, it was very straight forward, and while may not have 
as many features  as trixbox, the setup was way simpler.



James.

I guess the quickest way to get going would be something like Trixbox, except for previous comments about installation.  I've been reading a bit about Freeswitch, but its main benefits over Asterisk seem to be scalability, not really a concern for me in this case.
