[Freeswitch-users] FreeSWITCH VPSs

[Nik Martin]

I didn't mean to touch a nerve there, I think you mis-interpreted 100%
of my original post.  You may also have me confused with some other
Nik, as I contribute as much or more than I request .  There is a
nother Nik on here that are probably  referring to.  I am nikko from
#freeswitch.  I have made many edits and contributions to the wiki,
patches and verified bug reports submitted to Jira.

See my other responses inline.

I was adressing all the support hours you and others waste trying to
help people get FS running on their home servers behind NAT, when they
should be testing in an environment that more closely matches what
their production one will be.

Sorry, you are mistaking me with another Nik.  I'm nikko from
#freeswitch, and contribute PLENTY.

I'm just trying to cover costs, and suport a single NOC engineer, and
get more people to adopt FreeSWITCH.  If people like Paige and others
that come and go had a reasonable environment to test and configure
in, they would not be saying crap like "this works in asterisk, blah
blah blah".


Again, sorry to have upset you, but we had an email conversation an
few days ago, and you and Brian were cool with my plans.
