<p>^^^^ that is exactly the issue here either : when somebody asks a question on the board, the answer is always: have you upgraded to header version? Or do not use it. </p>
<p>Enterprise can't afford patch& upgrade daily. You guys need to take a strategy to release and support. For instance, two release: stable release will has a life span 3 years and be supported. Test release with latest features. </p>
<p>They ended up spending a lot of money on people. With Cisco, they get to spend all that money on equipment, licensing, etc. <br>

> I don't know of any large campuses using FreeSWITCH. Depending on the needs of the campus the CudaTel might work. Bare FreeSWITCH servers w/ OpenSIPS would also be an interesting solution but you'll still need to have someone be a "vendor" for support, etc. FSS will do support contracts on the FreeSWITCH stuff but you still need someone for the OpenSIPS side. I know Bogdan (from OpenSIPS) does that, as does Flavio Goncalves (OpenSIPS trainer, author). <br>
