JumpBox for Asterisk For Mac

Asterisk is self-described as "the world's most powerful and popular telephony development tool-kit." It's not a phone system so much as it is a set of building blocks that allows you to construct custom phone-based applications.

Asterisk functions can be layered on top of one another to construct intelligent telephone-based applications. With over two million current users Asterisk is recognized as the world's most popular open source telephony project.

The JumpBox for Asterisk provides the simplest path for getting started with this tool kit. It bundles the popular Free PBX GUI for administrating Asterisk and comes pre-installed with the Sipstation plugin to make it dead simple to get started. For a quick primer on how to set it up to make your first call to a real telephone check out the screencast below.
