Hi FreeSWITCHers
thanks bdfoster for the initiative, the group buy would be a very good start.
May I ask to be contacted in private, from who has access to one of
those e169, so we can arrange the possibility for me to constantly
checking development and documentation of mod_gsmopen with it? (eg. to
have ssh access to a development machine with an e169 connected).
Obviously, count on me for buying a couple of them, so I will not need
remote access anymore.
