Michael Iedema has posted details of a new FreeBSD based Asterisk distribution forked from m0n0wall:

Greetings everyone,

I've been working on a (yet another) "all-in-one" Asterisk based project. It is aimed at embedded / low power systems (but scales fine on more capable hardware) and is based on Asterisk 1.4.x and FreeBSD 6.2. Because of this, I've mostly been hanging out on the asterisk-bsd list as bugs rolled in and the system's features were improved. We're currently at public beta 10 after releasing pb1 in June and, I hope, ready to announce this to a bit larger audience.

This is not a live-cd but rather an image that must initially be written to a disk, so a dedicated machine is needed. After that, the entire system is upgradeable through the webGUI. Anyone familiar with the m0n0wall project (http://m0n0.ch/wall) will feel right at home as AskoziaPBX was forked from it.

Here are the quick facts from the website and a link to the page:

  • ~11 MB firmware image
  • PHP based GUI accessible via http(s)
  • based on Asterisk 1.4 and FreeBSD 6.2
  • designed for embedded / low resource systems
  • images available for the following platforms:
    • generic pc
    • pc engines wrap
    • soekris net48xx
    • VMware player

  • GUI currently configures:
    • SIP, IAX, ISDN and Analog phones and providers
    • Conferencing
    • Voicemail (forwarded as e-mail attachment)
    • Call Groups
    • Call Parking
    • ...as well as all system settings (ntp, GUI port, etc.)

  • all configuration stored in a single XML file
  • Multilingual audio-prompts:
    • Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese,
      Russian, Spanish, Swedish

  • Multilingual voicemail notification e-mails:
    • Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish, Swedish

site: http://askozia.com/pbx

Thanks goes out to everyone in asterisk-bsd and pbx-users for testing / reporting and quite a few people in IRC who helped troubleshoot bugs as they popped up! (Also, please remember that this is still a beta.)

Regards,
-Michael I.
