I need to develop an IVR application which makes an outbound calls and then plays the some audio file for the user. For this I was trying to evaluate Freeswitch under following criteria:

- Does freeswitch have outbound calls support(is there any conf file file avilabel where I just can put some series of no. and freeswitch just calls those no. sequentially)?

Yes. There isn't a conf file as such, but there are a myriad easy ways to go about this.

- If yes, how many simultaneous calls are possible on a simple pentium-4 using G711U as a codec(1 GB RAM, 2.2 GHz machine) machine?(I had checked the switch.conf file and it says that by default it can support upto 1000 calls , is it true for a small machine also)? In other terms is Freeswitch is scalable if I need to add more users to call from here?

It depends on the protocol, codec etc. But, yes, FS is very scalable.

- Does freeswitch have the support of CDR(call data record) after succesfull calls ?

Indeed it does.

It will be great help if any of you can comment on these question and it can save my several hours of testing before I can make my conclusion :)
