I saw a very cool gnome based app awhile ago that I haven't been able to find again. Basically it was, as far as I can remember, a 'knowledge repository' of sorts, with a 3d'ish view and you could put all the random snippits of info that you want to save in it and it had a nice interface to retrieve that info later... If anybody has any idea what this might be it'd be great if you could post a name.
Did you catch when they went to him and he was doodling on the screen, and nobody knew he was on (other then branedead dan) and the cameraman slung the camera around and he said "gonna need some more coffee....I'm falling asleep here...
*SIGH*. You don't like the text file configs for asterisk? Then contribute to one of the several Asterisk GUI projects. Or better yet spend some of the cash you would have paid for that Avaya or Cisco system to sponsor some developers to write a PHB style GUI.
Also here is what MOST people don't understand. There really isn't any reason for people to develop (and release for free) a comprehensive GUI for Asterisk, and here's why.
Most of the people who contribute to Asterisk do Asterisk consulting (some full time, others part time). Once you learn Asterisk config file syntax it is very simple and you write them without even thinking about it.
After you've done a single major Asterisk install it takes you literally 1/10'th of the time to write config files for subsequent installs as all you have to do is modify a couple of extension numbers, and maybe change IVR prompts and you're done.
It honestly is easier for me to edit a text config file with VIM then it would be to use a GUI. And by definition a GUI is not going to be as flexible as config files (unless it is hopelessly complicated). Period...
Unless the GUI is simply a pretty way to show the config file to make PHB's such as yourself happy , but doesn't hide the config file syntax. In which case, what's the point?
I'm rambling now...I await the trolls (I'm anti open source, yadda. Yadda. Blah. Blah. Yadda. Yadda. Yoda!)
It's already been done. Asterisk runs fine on xebian and Gentoox. You can use USB FXS adapters to connect phones. If you google there is even a video from a conference where it was demo'ed.
Running Asterisk on a xbox has absolutely nothing to do with using xbox live and saying it's a viable solution for small business.
HAHAHHAHAHABAHA BWHAHAHAHHAHAH HAH A AHHAH AHH AHHAH AHAH HAHA HAH AH A
You CAN'T be serious. XBOX LIVE? for a BUSINESS VOIP SOLUTION? BWHHAHHAHAHAHAH that's the best thing I've heard all day. Thanks for the laugh.

Idiots (pardon me if you are being sarcastic).....use your EYES...watch the video a few more times then read below.
Of COURSE it's not a real lawn mower that flies, it's made of balsa, monocoat type plastic shrink covering, and has a model airplane engine stuck on the front.
A "hight-restriction system"? Dude, do you know how R/C models are controlled? I bet a lot of./'ers don't so I'll explain.
Generally a transmitter that looks something like this is used.
The left stick controls Throttle on the vertical axis, and rudder on the horizontal axis.
The right stick controls Elevator on the vertical axis, and aileron on the horizontal axis.
Throttle controls the speed of the engine Rudder makes the planes nose point left and right Elevator makes the planes nose point up and down Aileron makes the planes wings go up and down

I need some more coffee heh...that didn't make a whole lot of sense. The guy with the awesome touchscreen interface was the guy who wanted coffee.
Did you catch when they went to him and he was doodling on the screen, and nobody knew he was on (other then branedead dan) and the cameraman slung the camera around and he said "gonna need some more coffee....I'm falling asleep here...

Was kinda funny
Yes I did see that and I thought it was awesome and wondered how I could find out who they had design it for them (assuming it was outsourced).
:)
Anybody with inside contacts t'would be cool if you could give details
gah! all those speeling errors. Must...remember...to...preview. I can't wait for my very own speeling troll to appear.

Oh brother. Mod this idiot down please.
EVERY SIGNLE CALL CENTER OUT THERE with more then 20 people *A L R E A D Y* is capable of setting *AT LEAST* their CallerID Number, AND ANI.
FOR FREE. (No extra charge over the cost of their normal PRI circuit and LD. Which by the way they are probably paying something under 1c/minute)
MOST of the larger call centers are ALSO capable of setting their CallerID *NAME* using a signalling protocol known as SS7.
more....
What I described above is known as 'mode 2'. There are 4 modes, in each mode the controls are assigned to the sticks in different ways.
Also..gotta run...ttfn

Rudder makes the planes nose point left and right

Aileron makes the planes wings go up and down
