Version 2.9 - amportal.conf - Advanced Settings - I'm Confused

Some of us have been using FreePBX for a very long time and are very used to going to /etc/amportal.conf to make certain changes. Others rely on the powers of google to quickly find help on how to do things which means they benefit from our collective wisdom, which all points to instructions that say "Go to /etc/amportal.conf and change XYZ to abc." So why is it when you do that on version 2.9 it does not work and how does all that relate to these new Advanced Settings? Or if you picked up on Advanced Settings, "why won't it let me change them?"
High Availability Backup and Restore

In our never ending quest to make FreePBX the best phone system that doesn't require money to buy (and even better than most that do cost money...), allow us to introduce you to the latest features in the Backup & Restore module. Last week we alluded to a critical server error, but left you guessing as to how we address that. This is a big step in that direction.

FreePBX Intro: Past, Present and Future

In case you missed it, our lead developer Philippe Lindheimer gave a wonderful presentation on FreePBX at Astricon this past Oct. (2009). The presentation gives a very nice overview of FreePBX, its capabilities, and what the future holds. See it here:

Cisco Unified CM 6.1 to Asterisk and FreePBX SIP Trunks (Powered by Bandwidth.com)

One of the systems I manage is an 875 Extension Cisco Unified Call Manager(UCM). At the moment the system uses SCAN trunks for long distance calling. These SCAN Trunks are provided by the state of Washington and interconnect via a four port FXO card. Callers use a PIN to make long distance calls. This is some seriously old school technology and as such has sound quality to match.
Restricting outbound calls in FreePBX (whitelist)

Previously, we discussed preventing outbound calls from FreePBX by using two methods: Misc Applications and outbound routes. There is also (at least) two ways to allow outgoing calls using a whitelist, i.e. allowing calls only to the numbers specified.

BLF and FreePBX feature codes

One of the really cool things added to the latest version of FreePBX is support for Russell's devstate backport for Asterisk 1.4. Today I decided to have a look at how it works, and I found it to be extremely simple and straightforward to set up. Obviously, you need to add the backport to asterisk. Luckily, that is extremely easy - just follow the directions in the readme.
