I suppose it's more a question of trust or confidence. It appeared to me that Asterisk was forked to OpenPBX in a fit of pique by two or three individuals. I kept an eye on the OpenPBX website for quite a few months after the fork, and it appeared to me to quickly stagnate, and didn't seem to gain any momentum. In contrast, I found original Asterisk to have a lot of forward momentum and a large community around it. So I stuck with it, and haven't paid much attention to OpenPBX/CallWeaver more recently. It certainly seems much lower-profile than Asterisk. Cheers Tony -- Tony Mountifield Work: tony at softins.co.uk - http://www.softins.co.uk Play: tony at mountifield.org - http://tony.mountifield.org
