Hm, support new installations or work with existing ... well, it either overwrites the distro, or you can run it in VMware. I run it in VMware server and grabbed the Trixbox VMware image from their website (recommended, it is optimized for VMware). I'd probably go this route for the sake of testing.
<br><br>Yes, I set up a basic phone system and utilized extensions / ring groups / follow me / IVR / incoming and outgoing trunks / music on hold / voicemail / misc destination calls. Still a lot more to it, but pretty cool stuff. Hm, standalone - what exactly do you mean? Actually, if you just want to test the voicemail system - you could set up a test server and just call each other with SIP softphones phones and leave a voice message there. I'd go that route.

Does Trixbox support new installations only or will it work with an<br>existing system? I'm trying to get this working on my existing<br>fileserver which has a bunch of 3rd party software including my<br>weather station, raid5 with lots of partitions, and some home
<br>automation stuff. Don't really want to have to reinstall everything<br>else at this time. The Trixbox quick install says it will format my<br>disk.<br><br>I assume you were able to get the simple voice mail demo working?
