[Freeswitch-users] Asterisk to FreeSWITCH migration guide

[Sam]

I find that Asterisk's AGI is much easier to use, they allow you to retrieve the dial status much easier than freeswitch's api's. Come on freeswitch, if you want to be better than asterisk, you should make it easier to get the dialstatus, etc. At this point asterisk is still defacto.

Hi Guys.

I am starting to use FreeSWITCH, i am an asterisk user since the
1.0.7
release appears as a package on the debian distribution, at the
beginning i was amazed by the fact i can build a PBX for my own
business
and i did, later i began to install this system for my customers and
sooner i meet the problems, however being the software open source i
always find a way to fix things using patchs from others, sometimes i
felt how my life was at risk when the system stops working and that
usually happens when i have to use queues and dealing with digium
hardware.

Fixing those problems either by applying patches or by changing
the
hardware where the digium cards were supposed to be installed helps me,
but that was to much stress for me and seeking for a balance that will
let me invest more time on services, configuration and hoping to have
better hardware
options brings me to freeswitch.

I agree with freeswitch philosophy that instead of having
thousands of
modules
that don't work fine i prefer just a few that works the way it should
be, a rock solid system for a corporate pbx and a call center is what i
want.

So here i am trying to begin the conversion, and i hope the
information
we can transcript in this list will help others that want to try
another
alternative to asterisk.

First of all i think the saner for a migration is to have the two
systems
running either on the same machine or different and use the stable
features of each one.

So could you please freeswitch users help me with this rosetta
stone migration guide in order to post it to voip-info.org or
freeswitch wiki (i list only the ones i currently use ):
