We do have mod_dialplan_asterisk if you miss that.<br><br>You do realize you did not do it in 10 minutes with asterisk when you first started using it only once you learned how to work it.<br>Your problem is more with the paradigm shift than the complexity. This is common so it's good that you are adding some wiki pages from you perspective.<br>
I deputize you in charge of training all new users with an asterisk background.<br><br>It's harder for us to explain it, however, We did all come from asterisk too ;)<br><br>There are 2 distinct camps of new users. <br>
<br>*) Those who try to make it work like asterisk and take month to learn how the rain in Spain falls gently on the plain.<br>*) Those who never heard of asterisk before and understand everything instantly.<br><br>We need more people to step up and contribute more to the documentation from each perspective , keep up the good work!<br>

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I'm in the same boat, finding the
transition from Asterisk to FS very frustrating. Something I can do in
Asterisk in 10 minutes is taking me a day with FS.</span></font></p>

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Do I think it's worth it?
Absolutely, but it's incredibly painful at times.</span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">What I've done is to create some
WIKI pages to help those familiar with Asterisk to understand the nuances of
FS. I posted them in the user pages. Hopefully when there are
enough contributions we can have a section on the main WIKI entitled 'Asterisk
conversion' or something. </span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Asterisk is very forgiving and takes a lot
of the pain away from doing simple tasks. FS on the other hand is less
forgiving, but you have more control. Being a control freak I like that.</span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">I kind of liken Asterisk to the early versions
of basic. Each command had a line number. You could be up and
running basic apps in a few hours. Then jump to C, and you'll spend
ages doing a simple task, but once you've mastered it, you'll never
go back.</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I think the crux of the matter is "I can't get Freeswitch to do
_just_ this" (emphasis added). Users that are relatively new to
FreeSWITCH but Asterisk veterans want to know how to build a simple, lean
configuration. I'm trying to figure it out myself right now.</span></font></p>

<br>
phones... 1000 and 1001 both with password of 1234 then you can call <br>
between them. That will work exactly as you want out of the box.

Expect more simplified configs to show up after 1.0.3.<br>
