[Freeswitch-users] Simple IAX2 setup - help with converting from asterisk to freeswitch

[David Knell]

There's a fairly simple solution to IAX needs, which is to run Asterisk,
probably on the same box, as a protocol converter - you just need to
tell it to use a non-standard port in sip.conf so that it doesn't clash
with FreeSWITCH.
