[Freeswitch-users] GSMopen USB dongle permission denied

[Nandy Dagondon]

I agree too that adding freeswitch to the "dialout" group is the best
solution. I tried "usermod -a" option but freeswitch is still denied.

Re USB modems. Yes, I added udev rules, too,  to change the owner from root
to freeswitch.

No opposition if I add this to the Wiki as a "workaround only"?
