[Freeswitch-users] Does Freeswitch replace Asterisk?

Mon May 7 15:31:05 MSD 2012

Hi,

    It's good to know that the list is very active! Talking about the
DTMF signaling, some guys on the Asterisk list told me that they got it
running here in Brazil using DTMF. When I tried to configure it on my
asterisk, I had a lot of erros, sometimes the caller id worked but it
had some digits in inverted positions (It sounds very strange). As my
asterisk is in production, I have a limited time to try this kind of
thing on it, I will do some tests with FS in a free machine here. João,
I liked to know that are active br guys in this list, sure I will
contact you to exchange some ideas.

Thank you very much.
