CLI is useful for small/simple "dial" tone installations. Anything above that even very competent administrator will make syntax/logical errors. GUIs do not make such mistakes and in addition do allow TRAINED "average" person to make changes by them selves. > Any 4 year old can run a GUI and that is why the > skill level of people programming phone systems has gone down hill so > much. I have never heard of 4 year old been allowed to play with any companies phone systems !!! Remember no "dial" tone, no customers. As for skill level, I agree a lot training and patience needs to be invested into end users/resellers using GUI administration let alone CLI.
