[Freeswitch-users] Feedback

[Michael Collins]

Thank you for your willingness to give back your changes. We appreciate you
wanting to share.

Our resident Windows gurus no doubt have some technical questions for you.
Perhaps you could get with them at some point and discuss your project. I
think the biggest question they had was: Why? In other words, by doing all
of this work to make FS play more nicely with Windows, what exactly do you
gain?

Thanks,
Michael
