VoIP IP Telephony @ http://snapvoip.blogspot.com

I was reading Sinologic article that lead me to this discovery. It seems that the TrixBox replacement have come to the open source arena. The AsteriskNow, TrixBox and the WorxBox have a lot in common.

See the following by the news releases at WorxBox project site which I have provided links below.
"Welcome to Worxbox®, The Asterisk Server with the Worx®! The goal of the Worxbox® project is to provide a production quality Open-Source Unified Communications Server that’s easy to build, configure and manage. WorxBox® installs all the software needed to deploy a fully functional Asterisk® based PBX and creates a basic configuration which can then be easily optimized to meet the requirements of almost any business.

WorxBox® is a no-compromise, next-generation phone system that can scale to support several hundred users, but it doesn’t stop there. Worxbox® also integrates Asterisk® with a comprehensive suite of supporting and complementary web, messaging, networking and business productivity modules. In fact, for many small businesses Worxbox® may be the only server they need!"

The functionalities also shows some similarities;
WorxBox® Features:

* Complete CentOS Linux operating system
* MySQL Database
* Fully-featured Asterisk PBX
* SugarCRM
* Alfresco Document Manager
