Yeah, I've recently been looking at the options in that space. My concern with CPs is that: -they do break sometimes, and if you're not up to speed on the whole AMP stack and the CP, you're done -regardless of what CP we go with, we will always have a set of customers that are here because we'll do one-offs for them, and a CP is too restrictive for that That said, the guy that wrote Freeside, which we now use for billing, noted that these open source CPs all look "interesting": GNUPanel http://gnupanel.org/ OpenPanel http://www.openpanel.com/ ispCP Omega http://isp-control.net/ RavenCore http://www.ravencore.com/ Thanks, Charles > On Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 9:28 AM, Robert Blayzor <rblayzor.bulk@inoc.net>wrote: > >> On Apr 13, 2009, at 8:55 PM, Charles Sprickman wrote: >> >>> That said, most of the information I'm looking for revolves around >>> security and performance issues, user management, and just what additional >>> php and perl modules to offer as standard.
