Thank you FreeSWITCH experts:

Michael Collins, Kristian Kielhofner, Vik Killa,  Gabriel Gunderson.

Thanks you all, i appreciate your comments.

Gabriel Gunderson, Anyone who has practical experience of FreeSWITCH and
able to reply and give meaningful comment/solution to help request, to me
that person an experts. So you are an expert.  :)


Regards

Eugene
