I was ready for a tough time with this release after all the ruckus going on in the trixbox forums. But Tom’s script has made all the difference. I’m finding this release to be stable and even my Aastra phones are getting their configs thanks to the TFTP fix included in Tom’s update. The new FreePBX is blowing me away as well, what a gem!

I’ve been using the asterisk phonebook to manage incoming callerid. It’s fast, but no callerid.php/Asteridex trifecta! Do you expect we’ll see those anytime soon?

Thank you Ward coaxing me to try this one, and a big thanks to Tom for all his efforts!

[WM: Thanks for writing. AsteriDex and the CallerID Trifecta are in the works! Tom’s script is quite a jewel, isn’t it!]

I also am making the asterisk 1.4 plunge trying to diy like aah was. I’ve been strugleing with nv_faxdetect rx_fax and tx_fax.

It would be awesome if you could expand your bluetooth howto to cover chan_mobile in asterisk. It would be awesome to use asterisk to connect to your cellphone when your home. I got it to compile from svn trunk but not from a release.

Your articles are always helpfull. Thanks!

Happy I stopped by tonight and found your most recent post BEFORE I started my Trixbox CE install–this should save me at least 3 or 4 lumps on the noggin. When you get caught up–I’d love for you to have a look at Stephen Uhlers ConMan application

and see what can be done to get his great web front-end for meet-me conferencing more of a 1,2,3 process. Thanks for all your hard work!

Ward,
Another great one!! Will you be doing a security one soon? Like how to lock down all the open web directories (i.e. panel) so that they only way you can get to is to log in first.

Thanks.

Ward,
Thanks for all you have done so far. I have managed to get mail, weather by airport, weather by zipcode, and yahoo news working. I haven’t been able to get telephone reminders or teleyapper working.
When I try to run telephone reminders, it reaches a point where it just hangs up the line.
I knew that it was a matter of time when we all had to upgrade to Centos 5 and Asterisk 1.4. Good luck in getting all of your great apps working again.

Ward and Tom are once again my heroes! LOL Ward, I’ve been playing with TB 2.3 and it has been a pain in the butt… I didn’t know Tom had already released a script for it (silly me forgot all about script-trix.us) I am glad you wrote this article… I am running the script right now!
Have a great day, and thanks a lot for rescuing us once again!

PS Do you have any comments about the trixbox Pro? Never mind, I think so too! LOL
