[VoIP] FOP

[David Josephson]

I have FOP running on my Asterisk box which will be connected to the net 
in the next few days. There is no need for X windows or a GUI of any 
kind on the box itself; the only extra overhead on the Asterisk server 
is a regular httpd like Apache. Another machine running a web browser 
(which can be anywhere) is used as the display client; I have both 
Windows and Mac OSX running for that.

I haven't looked at Gastman, FOP seems relatively simple and does all I 
want. Now someone needs to artfully recreate Bell switchboard lamp lens 
designs, with irregularities, to replace the m&m's in FOP...

That's right.
