New Open Source VoIP PBX

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tin-can-and-string-compatible dept.

dsginter writes "It looks like Asterisk isn't the only open source PBX game in town anymore. sipX, as the name implies, is a SIP-only PBX project released under the LGPL. A noteworthy feature is the inclusion of an out-of-the-box web-based management console. Read more about the release over at Voxilla."

    "asterisk is a cool project, but it's huge and designed to interface to lots of legacy hardware."
    Nope. Asterisk is designed so that if you want to interface with lots of legacy hardware, it's easy to write an application interface to do so. There's a big difference.
    "and you can get pots to SIP adapters for much cheaper than the specalized cards that asterisk uses"
    Or, alternatively, you could just use those cheaper adaptors with Asterisk as we do.

    We have built our business based on Asterisk and have several SIP-only installations as well as SIP and TDM combined installations. We regularly undertake product surveys, but as yet we haven't found any product which can match Asterisk, let alone beat it!
