I usually enjoy Andy Abrahmson's writing but come on Andy...this post makes it sound like Asterisk@Home is somthing new. As anyone reading my blog could tell, it's been around for quite a while. And I didn't even get into it until it was close to a 1.0 release. It's up to 2.7 now!
As I read somewhere else, Asterisk@Home really doesn't have much to do with "home" anymore, it's more like Asterisk+. It's Asterisk with a bunch of good programs bundled together and, mostly, working well together. There are even graphics to change it to Asterisk@Work if you're hung up on such a thing.
Andy, please tell me I'm reading it wrong and you didn't just stumble upon this!
