Hm, this sounds like an interesting and important conceptual aspect of the way <br>
FreeSwitch works which I suspect I haven't fully "got".<br>
<br>
Can you point me at the documentation which explains this, for people who are <br>
more used to procedural programming, and show how we should be thinking about <br>
FreeSwitch dialplans instead?<br>
<br>
I'm certainly keen on using FreeSwitch in as efficient a manner as possible :)<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
