[Freeswitch-users] Does Freeswitch complies with SIP Connect technical recommendation?

[Steve Underwood]

I'm not clear how you can get a PBX SIP CONNECT approved. A lot of the 
document comes down to how you configure and use the system. Obviously, 
a product could present a roadblock that prevents SIP CONNECT compliance 
in a working setup, but I doubt that many products would do that.

Characterising the SIP forum as a who's who of retarded SIP providers 
and PBXes is a little unfair. Practically everyone in the VoIP business 
is in that list. Capability certainly doesn't look like a prerequisite, 
though. :-\
