333Would it be possible to get tables here?

by thejonmoore, Tuesday 19 of May, 2009 [03:37:47 UTC]
It seems the information on this page would be much easier to read / use if it were in various tables. Any reason that isn't the case? I don't care to start editing the tables, but what to hear some other thoughts first...

Somebody use VPN to solve the VoIP Blocking issue. But it seems not a good way to solve the voip blocking issue. Because VPN will take more bandwidth and will take effection on the Voice Quality

Currently I am using the VGCP, a new solution to solve the VoIP Blocking issue. Following is theirs website:

Any asterisk user must use the druid web interface for asterisk . IS the best !!!! With simple clicks you can setup a whole PBX system with many many features . The support is immediate . The manual is excellent . And the install procedure is very simple . Druid Web interface is worthy of its money . You MUST try it .

333Re: Asterisk GUI

by joel_vandal, Sunday 09 of July, 2006 [13:55:07 UTC]
Hi Pat,

I cannot say for others GUI but ScopServ (www.scopserv.com) allow to create setup like you want... and more of course.

- Add your Analog or Digital (BRI or PRI) cards in Interface menu (or use our Wanpipe/Zaptel Auto detection scripts)
- Create a group for each channels (you can create up to 32 groups with individual ports selections)
- Create Incoming Lines that dial your SIP extensions

333New version of DRUID

by vicram, Monday 03 of April, 2006 [07:18:48 UTC]
Voiceroute has released a brand new version of DRUID also its fully compatible with PHP4 and PHP5 and uses Zend. Please check if out at http://www.voiceroute.net

333

by vicram, Wednesday 18 of January, 2006 [04:16:20 UTC]
I am a developer with Voiceroute who's working on DRUID. I felt the statement below has a lot of technical inaccuracies. Firstly DRUID uses LAMPP only so that we can have a standard envoirnment to work on and having this standard envoirment helps us fix our customers problems much faster. (Linux has no standards and there are hundreds of custom Apache configurations which can make support very hard).

Now LAMPP (XAMPP) is widely used a heavily tested open source software bundle which comes with PHP5/Mysql/eAcclerator and tons of other great features. Installing it is a breeze just a matter of untar-ing it into /opt. PHP5 is great and works much better giving great performance with eAcclerator. Zend is currently out of our reach and is a very expensive piece of software. We sell DRUID for only $49 and its great value for money. Not only does it have a AJAX enabled full featured Asterisk interface it also has a Graphical Java Asterisk Live Interface to visually see and control your Asterisk server. Zend would make DRUID pricing out of reach for most of Asterisk users who deserve such an interface to make Asterisk even more productive for them.

We feel a great user interface will only help Asterisk in so many ways. Asterisk is a great piece of software and I thank Digium and Mark for bringing IP-Telephony to the masses. I only hope DRUID helps all those sysadmins convince management to use Asterisk internally or make it easy for someone not so inclined to learn to easily deploy and run Asterisk.

Your feedback is invaluable. Please feel free to mail me at vikram@voiceroute.net

333DRUID :PHP5/MySql5

by RichardBG, Saturday 07 of January, 2006 [22:19:09 UTC]
Druid is only running on PHP5/MySql5/Eacc > 0.93 and Zend and needs to run on the same machine where the PBX is installed - so dont bother if you dont want to upgrade to these versions cause they are still full of bugs and flaws and shouldnt run on any production server.

The druidteam might wanna offer a PHP4/SQL4 package as well please ? Due to the above reasons, DRUID will not be installed on many machines, which is a shame cuz the product looks nice.
