Asterisk release 1.6.0.3 has additional changes from 1.6.0.2, including a fix to the Makefile that caused menuselect to break in certain cases.

I know someone who uses this, how is it compared with Avaya IP Office 500?
Hey,
Do you mean asterisk? It’s great in contrast to Avaya, especially the price point :) I prefer 1.6 to 1.4, but I like to live on the bleeding edge.
There’s also systems pre-built like http://www.ottawaphonesystems.com that are good too.
