Not sure why you felt the need to double post?

Anyways, see comments inline.

Um, when did Marshall say that?  How did he hit the nail on the head?
It is what it is.  If you feel "not good enough" then work through it
with a real "Elmer" or your clergyman or psychologist.

I am sorry the learning curve is hard for you.  Personally, I taught
myself Asterisk seven years ago, before any of these GUIs existed.  I
did everything from the command line and compiled everything from
source.

Any real Asterisk pro knows the trade-offs of GUIs and all the extra
garbage that must be installed and running to make that GUI function,
and any of those processes can bring down your server or leave a
security hole a hacker could drive a truck though.

This EVB/ACID stuff would not be tolerated on the Asterisk lists and
without Asterisk, I am not sure what app_rpt would do for you.

Did they help you through building a custom kernel, only loading
services and software that are needed for the task and no more?  Did
they teach you how to secure your machine properly?  Did they teach
you how to obtain maximum uptime on your system?  These are all the
basics of the "Best Practices" when building any system.

Great.

I already posted a working HOWTO.  Again, you should speak to a
clergyman or psychologist about your obvious anger disorders.

Wrong, it is an "Asterisk Repeater Controller" community.  If you had
attended the app_rpt track at Astricon, you would have heard Steve
Henke speak to the commercial side of the project.  I think I still
have the handout with commercial uses included.

Anyways, if it helps you feel warm and fuzzy, I am KB3OPB, LMAO.

I have no idea what you are doing, but I am a systems integrator and
have been doing Linux, Asterisk, MS, Cisco, and just about every kind
of phone system you can name doing consulting for many years.

My guess is you are just playing.  I do this for fun and a living.

My "Elmer" co-authored SNMP and co-founded PSINet.
