"preferably not an EEE PC because of the network driver incompatibility with CentOS."

Yes this is sad. 🙁 I jumped at EEE Box because I thought it was good value. Pity about the network card – Fedora has no problem with it.

[WM: Check out the PIAF Forum. There’s a thread on how to add the driver for the EEE box.]

@Raphael: I’ve been asking for that too, but apparently, this project is no longer aiming to be the only one that doesn’t require constantly downloading and burning new ISOs.

[WM: PBX in a Flash comes with update-source which will update CentOS to the latest and greatest. And FreePBX has a built-in upgrade utility to let you move up to FreePBX 2.9 or 2.10. Install scripts to upgrade Asterisk are on the PIAF Forum and can be modified to meet your specific requirements. Incredible PBX actually installs from an image of FreePBX and the Asterisk DB so it just isn’t possible to rerun the Incredible PBX installer without erasing all of your existing settings. It’s been that way since Day 1. Hope that clarifies the upgrade path and what’s available.]

I feel pretty stupid in having asked that question after looking back at the article. It does specifically say to go the the Incredible PBX Tutorial in the article. I’d just done a quick search for wget and /root, didn’t find them in the article, and then posted my question.

[WM: No problem at all.]

I tried to sign up for Vitelity via the PIAF special link. I enter the info and get my preqoalification message. When I click to go to Vitewlity to sign up, I get "400- Whoops! Page cannot be found" error. Is Vitelity still working with PIAF on it's special offer? [WM: Special offer is still available. Vitelity was just moving servers. Try again, and thanks for the heads up.]

In the past, with installations of PIAF, you had to download incrediblepbx2.x and run it to get the IncrediblePBX features. You don’t mention it in this discussion of PIAF-17571. Does this now occur automatically with installation of the PIAF-17571 distribution?

[WM: Incredible PBX 2 is still a separate add-on.]

Great! I’m glad PBXinAFlash is always the best! I was wondering if someday you could post a complete guide for everysteps to upgrade for new versions. I can’t wait to test new things on a prod machine!
Many thanks!

You might want to think about revising your recommendation for the Sipura SPA-3102. While it was a great piece of technology in its day, the Obihai OBi110 is less expensive, has more functionality, and is less prone to echo (the bane of the SPA-3102). Just sayin’…
