In August, I visited Digium's headquarters and excitedly wrote, "the next release of AsteriskNOW (1.5) will bundle the very popular FreePBX front-end GUI. This is big news! FreePBX has become the defacto standard for web-based GUI administration of Asterisk, so now Asterisk fans can download AsteriskNOW, boot of the self-install CD and not only getting a working copy of AsteriskNOW, but FreePBX as well!" I also explained that the forthcoming AsteriskNOW which previously ran on rPath will now be using the very popular CentOS (5.2) distributionWell my Asterisk friends, that day has come! AsteriskNOW just came out in beta. Now go grab yourself a copy!

Tom, I did an interview with Philippe Lindheimer, the FreePBX Lead Developer. Hear it here.
I have a few systems running the new beta and it also includes the Zaptel replacement called DAHDI.
haha that's one big screw you Fonality if you ask me.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out and how much market share will flow to AsteriskNOW.
