Hello
Besides the three options below, does someone know of a free
or cheap PBX software that can run on Windows? This is just for SOHO
use.
Asterisk on Win32 (still using 1.0.10; don't know how reliable on
Windows, and what hardware it supports)
http://www.asteriskwin32.com/
OnDO PBX and SIP Server (don't know the difference between the two;
free for personal use)
http://www.brekeke.com/products/products_pbx.php
Axon Virtual PBX Software (free)
http://www.nch.com.au/pbx/index.html?ref=google&ref2=pbxs&ref3=fr&gclid=CJ3zke2QiIYCFQZ6Qgod0Su4-w
To connect to the POTS, since the Digium PCI cards only run with
Asterisk, and unless you can recommend other (affordable) PCI cards,
I'm thinking of buying a VoIP gateway box such as the Sipura 3000. Any
other recommendation?
Thank you.

Also, you can run Asterisk (the Linux version) under VMware (there is a free
edition out now). However, I am curious why you don't want to run Asterisk
on Linux?

also looking for a PBX that is open source (or open API), and is
windows based.
The reason is that I have spent a lot of time developing with Visual
Sudio, which I find very productive - and very rich in terms of out of
the box functionality.
Things may have changed, but 5 years ago I spent a month or two
converting over to Linux and using the available tool sets for all my
development. Free sounded very attractive!
But the development tool set was the real problem. It was like going
back 10 years or more.
We do run Asterisk, and think it is great, but we don't do any
development on it - apart from configuration.
I'd love to be able to get some better integration between Asterisk and
our enterprise management system (CRM etc), but I have decided I can't
be competent in multiple development enviroments.
Having got hooked on Asterisk, the "free" part is no longer the most
important part. I'd pay money to be able to easily enhance and/or
interface with it.

Because I don't have any Linux server, and I'd rather not have to set
up another host just to route calls. That's why I'm looking at
free/afordable PBX software for Windows.

As someone else pointed out, you will need a dedicated box either way. Good
luck on your Windows hunt. I have heard that Axon is good but don't know
anything about it.
