take a look at http://www.cerberusweb.com/ the free licence works with only one mailbox, but works very well!

I havent see it on net.And also you can not get the same performance from a free one on this sector.Support system is always using by bigger sites, so the coders want some money.I am looking forward to relpies for seeing a free one.

Thanks

Take a look at Helperoo, http://www.helperoo.com/

Works pretty great, just launched and seems to be working very well.

I just took a look at e-ticket and it looks pretty nice. I will have to give that one a try if I get some free time.

I agree. I've messed with Cerberus (free version) but I really disliked their install process and felt the administration was a bit bloated for my needs at the time. Good luck!

A while ago somebody was looking for a free support ticket system, and the one I suggested then was: http://www.maianscriptworld.co.uk/scripts_support.html and I still do recommened it.

Its a good realible, and professional script for free of course ;)

Might be worth having a look at.

I play with Cerberus before. I still prefer light weight helpdesk intergrated in whmcs.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/eticket look nice from the screenshot.

eTicket (http://sourceforge.net/projects/eticket) is a fork of osTicket (http://www.osticket.com) which also have got another fork known as osTicket Community Version (http://osticketcommunity.ath.cx/trac)

Having used osTicket 1.3.1 - I was pretty impressed without. Worth a shot.

if you own the server there is cpanel pro which is if you have cpanel for the control panel of the server then you should use that one as it comes with cpanel and is currently free :))

cPanel's "desk" is horrible, they need to stick with building their control panel & not these silly little extensions.
Leave those to the pros ;)

Since cereberus is the msot preffered system, i want to give it a try, but what does this mean?

You can only manage a single incoming e-mail address.
You are limited to 3 users

I can only have 3 support persons? and what's the impact of having only a single incomming address?

You wouldn't happen to be the person in Calgary who runs it, would you? :stickout:

But seriously, it looks pretty interesting.. do you know a helperoo support site we can take a look at? I am curious to see what the "customer" who needs support will see.

Thanks.

If you're on a shoe string budget, nothing is better than the free version of Cerberus. Their e-mail piping feature works flawlessly and the client side of Cerberus is very well designed and asethically pleasing :)
