ON the other hand, if you can justify the time to learn it, using straight asterisk 1.4/1.6 is very accessible for us bliind users. All configs are text files. Once you get a handle on it, setting up new phones/lines is very quick and easy. If you are using Debian, there is an asterisk apt package that does quite nicely fo rthe base asterisk installation. > I have not looked at the numerous graphical configuration systems (like pbxinaflash or trixbox).
