[Freeswitch-users] beginner's question

[Faraz R. Khan]

I moved our company to Freeswitch keeping Asterisk only as a Digium PSTN 
gateway (didn't want to mess with OpenZAP at this point)

I did the reverse, changed asterisk to run on port 7000. But you can- 
check conf/sip_profiles/internal.xml (or external.xml)

Nothing really. Make a SIP trunk from Asterisk to FS and vice versa.

Any SIP provider would work- most likely better than Asterisk as FS 
implements SIP completely (including CNG, etc)
