[Freeswitch-users] Questions on Building an application for FreeSWITCH

[Phone]

Thanks for sharing your experience.

We would like to get over to linux with this.

I am still trying to get my head around how this generally works.  I 
guess we would write a client to sit and run on the linux box where it 
could periodically check the DB and then talk sockets to FS to make the 
calls?

Can you point me to examples of talking sockets?
