color:navy'>I can attest to the fact that FreeSWITCH is a great project with a
really cool community. Right now the IRC channel is the best place to get
quick, specific information on how to handle the kinds of things you’re looking
to do. One of the important things about FS is that the devs made
extremely wise engineering decisions long before a single line of code was
written. They made sure that FS would be extremely flexible in what it
can do. One byproduct of that is that we get visitors asking, “Hey, can
FreeSWITCH do this?” when no one here had thought of that before. In many
cases it can indeed “do that,” but it takes a little tweaking and some
attention from the experts. Definitely hop on the IRC channel
#freeswitch; the main devs generally are there during the day and some
evenings. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

environment, we would ask that you consider documenting your setup on the
wiki. We hope to lower the barrier to entry for others with similar needs
by having good documentation, but of course we also like to brag about what FS
can do! </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;color:navy'>J</span><span

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Greetings all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve just stumbled upon your project and it may solve an
issue we are having. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><br>
I’ve just spent about 3 weeks getting to know asterisk just to discover I don’t
think it can do what I need.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><br>
We have a project where we have incoming calls on a SIP channel. We need
to do a direct forward of these calls to an outgoing channel based to a number
which is from our database. Simple to do in asterisk, but the problem is
that we cannot have these calls “connected” between the two lines.
They have an automated message at the beginning that is being activated
when we do the answer before the dial of the second number in asterisk.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Out first idea is to bridge the incoming call directly to
the outgoing call. The problem is that the incoming call cannot be
“answered” and then we initiate the outgoing call. It needs to be a
seamless bridge between the two calls. A nice feature would be to
have a timer on the call. I saw a bounty for the timer feature, so I’m guessing
(hoping) the bridging part can be done now. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>One other thought we are having is the ability to leave the
incoming line “ringing” and dial the outgoing line until it is answered.
At that time, answer the incoming and then bridge them together.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So my question is: Can freeswitch do these things?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks and congratulations on the nice work!<o:p></o:p></p>
