[Freeswitch-users] Proto specific hangup cause issue

Tue Dec 9 07:19:26 PST 2008

    We are currently in the migration process from our
current system to a FS based setup. We are in the process of
adapting our billing and routing to FS. All the  CDRs (and variables)
related issues that we have been discussing on this mailing list
come from the need to extract the same level of information from FS as
we do with our current closed source proprietary system. So, we
chose FS because of the versatility it provides in every aspect (event
handling, config implementation etc.) and we strongly believe that all
these additions/fixes would be beneficial to many potential FS users.

    We are at your disposal for more details in case you need
more information about what exactly we are trying to do. Basically,
our approach is from the VoIP carrier's point of view rather than the
PBX user's/implementor's. So, the details that we asked to be introduced
to FS come from real life issues that we have faced during the last few 
years
with various platforms and troubleshooting experiences with other VoIP 
carriers.
