[Freeswitch-users] 2012 VoIP With Virtualization

[Chris Mylonas]

Beauty - thanks Jay - I'll check out what jails can do for me.  I've just compiled FS on 2 openvz servers (Denver/LA, I'm in Sydney) for testing a bunch of stuff, firstly loading mod_gsmopen without it complaining about ctb not being available.


In my world, voice is precious ;)
No virtualisation continues to be my modus operandi for now then :)


Cheers
Chris
