[Freeswitch-users] group call with BLF and pickup

[Michael Collins]

Seweryn,

Which phone(s) are you using? FS does BLF very well with Snom, Grandstream,
and Linksys. Also, the dialing scenario you mention is actually very easily
handled with FreeSWITCH. The devs are very clever and they set up a dialing
syntax mechanism that allows one to do all sorts of unique and even exotic
dialing setups.

Do you have a spare Linux machine and a few phones that you can do some
testing with? That would be the ideal way to get started quickly. If you do
have a Linux machine then the quickest way to get FS running is to do this:

Just remember one thing: FreeSWITCH is quite different from Asterisk, so
there is a bit of a learning curve, but it's totally worth it. :)
