The final straw was Microsoft deciding to keep Skype proprietary while adding free… Read More ›

As more and more Asterisk® platforms enter the open source community, it seems as if we spend a lot of energy covering the basics of getting those new systems into place, and there’s little time left for tutorials that really make the difference in a great telephony system and one that just makes calls.
