[Freeswitch-users] Hello, and stuff.

[Ognjen Seslija]

I currently use FS for a managed PBX services for many companies. It's so
configurable and extensible, I don't think I would change it for anything. I
have Cisco CME and SCCP phones in my office all interconnected to FS doing
logic and thinking. I also have Asterisks as PSTN PRI gateways. FS does all
the job for me in the world, the other two are just used as protocol
gateways. I wouldn't change FS for anything else now, after a year and the
half of playing with it. I fully recommend it.

Regards,
Ognjen

P.S: To be fair, the echo on the hw ec cards is not really Asterisk's fault.
