AH, ok. Thanks.

Any left from the above link that aren't?

> *) Fully controllable mute/unmute etc from EVENT SOCKET interface.
> *) Ability to record to shoutcast (with help from mod_shout)

We're thinking of a hosted conference service with variosu billing
formats and are accessing FreeSWITCH vs MeetMe. Looks like FreeSWTICH
is way on top.

What about LDAP integration?

Thanks,

Gavin.
