of GUI administration that won't require a ton of ongoing linux admin level
support. I hit a couple of stumbles going the asterisk + asterisk GUI
route (404 errors on ivr page etc..) and am tempted to take the easy path
of asterisknow iso and go. Thanks for any pointers, and advance apologies

IMHO, there is really no way to say "this one is best". Each solution might
be better at X while the other is better at Y... its very dependent on your
situation....
Though, I gather you'd rather not deal with the actual OS-level, so you are
probably best to stick with one of the complete packages like AsteriskNOW,
Trixbox (they have a free and paid version), PBX in a Flash, and i;m sure
there are many others...
I haven't used any of them however so I can't really speak about the pros and
cons of them.

Thanks for the response, to clarify a bit, I don't mind the hands on
installation but after the system is up and running I would like to have a
GUI front end that I can dump off to less linux friendly folks for creation
of new extensions, voicemail setup etc.. Thanks again for the response.

I guess take this into consideration if time isn't a real factor
(however, I'm sure it is). In my experience I found it best to start
learning with the configuration files only then use the GUI. The GUI's
are very nice and handy, but sometimes I feel they lack what you could
do with manually creating your dial plan. Also you learn how to debug /
troubleshoot problems by experimenting with it, I found that to be very
helpful. Maybe build out your dial plan with the GUI so you can get your
office up and running, then make a new context to experiment with doing
things manually.
