Ugh... First the bad news. I talked with Eric and he'll be out of town this weekend so there won't be a meeting this month. That's two in a row and I'm not liking it one bit. I need my asterisk fix.

There is good news though. I did get my Aastra 57i CT and it is a cool looking phone. I haven't had time to get it hooked up but Jason B. has had great luck getting the phone configured. When I last talked to him, he raved about how easy it was to get provisioned and the XML features were great. I'll try and get Jason to show some of the finer point of the Aastra line at the next meeting.

Speaking of Jason B., he mentioned to me that he has become very knowledgeable about FreePBX and how to get it to do amazing things all from the GUI with out any config file magic. (well, maybe just a little)

So June's topic will be Aastra phones (57i CT for sure) and FreePBX Magic. (I've got a month to convince Jason to show up.)

Thanks,

Jay
