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.
