The other concern I had about FreePBX when I looked at it was the hardware requirement they specify to run both VMWare and the program: a desktop machine that is less than two years old, etc. Do you think they mean it? I was thinking of trying it out on a machine that's probably 6+ years old, but has a Pentium 4, 1.7GHz processor, and 640 MB of RAM. This would be mostly to play with rather than any kind of critical need, but I'd be interested in your thoughts.
Also, any idea how FreePBX would compare to programs that are written for Windows, such as 3CX (
www.3cx.com) or Axon (
