[Freeswitch-users] Newbie (sort of) questions

[Mario]

Hope this helps: I am replacing an SPA9000 (asterisk) with FS, testing
on Linux then moving to a mac mini. I tried this 8 months ago and used
some of the GUI options. My two cents: stick with XML parms. Things go
wrong and a GUI gets in the way, it "hides from view" valuable info. I
was able to get FS up and running the first try on Linux. osX 10.6.4
took some work (search for my userid in the list from the last 2 weeks)
but eventually worked. Although FS is done I am having one last tough
problem no one here (or on IRC) attempted to help with and I can't
imagine working on it without having done the XML stuff myself. To
answer your question though, this is what I did and recommend:

1. If you haven't already buy the book and study it! You definitely
won't need/want a GUI after that.
2. Search the wiki, it has some very good configs to get started, use
pieces from multiple samples. Google search help with the wiki too.
3. Search Google to find the pages on this mailing list easily.
4. As a last resort, post on this group.
