Asterisk@Home Virtual Machine Updated - v2.8

I've just uploaded the newest virtual machine to the vmwarez download site: Asterisk@Home version 2.8. Here's what is new:
There are a lot of updates in 2.8. We are now using a stock install of SugarCRM with the Asterisk plug-in. This should make upgrades painless. SpanDSP and NV Fax detect are working with FreePBX.org thanks to a small patch. Future versions of FreePBX.org should have full support. As always we have the latest version of Asterisk and the latest versions of lots of other software packages including CentOS and phpMyAdmin.
The old Maintenance page has been replaced with FreePBX.org plug-ins. Security has been tightened and you can pick your own root password during install. As always you can get a working Voice over IP PBX with all the latest add-ons in less than an Hour!
You can download the vm here. It is about 555MB. I have a dedicated 5mbs connection to the 'net for VM downloads, so it is fast if there aren't a ton of people using it all at once. If it seems slow, try back later. Donations are welcome :)
Screen Caps of what it looks like on first boot are located here. If you are not familiar with booting aah in a vm for the first time, it would be worth the read.
USERNAMES AND PASSWORDS:
console: root/password
freepbx/amp: maint/password
flash operator panel: passw0rd
sugar crm: admin/password
Look here for more security info.

I recommend looking at NerdVittles and VoIPJots for different things you can do with your AAH box including things like:
Click to call
Teleyapper - the auto dialer, telemarketer style.
The new "Idolizer"
Appointment reminder system
and lots more...
Be sure to donate on their sites too if you use and like their stuff.

Hi, can you please check your file *aah28.zip since I can just download 456 megs. After this download stops for some reason. Thanks,

Hi,
You might double check your disk space? I downloaded the whole thing just fine as a test.
Thanks,

Does this vm machine support zaptel device? Or it works like just another softswitch?

Nope, it only supports "network attached" devices... such as sip or iax ATAs or channel banks.

Great site! I am very curious to see whether your vmware install of AAH 2.8 suffers from the problems that plague mine: Substantial time gain (clock runs way too fast on the vmware instance) and significant memory leak (w/i 24 hours it it pegs the 256MB allocated to the AAH)

Hum how to install AAH 2.8 in ESX?

Not sure you can at this point. Will be looking into it as time permits.

As far as I know, you cannot use anything except "network attached" devices such as SIP ATAs, IP Phones, gateways, etc. If someone knows otherwise, please let us know.
Thanks,
Jim

This functions very well!
Cant tell the difference between this and my office linux box.
Except, i suffer from the FAST CLOCK problem. It makes my call logs almost useless.
anyone been able to fix this?
I'm running XP pro with VM Player on a slow P3 1000.

Hi, I have been trying to download this for quite sometime and it seems that the download does not exist. Is there somewhere else I can get aah28.zip?

I've taken the old ones off the site as new ones come available. Keep an eye on the main vmwarez asterisk page for updates...
Thanks,
Jim
