Hi Lucia, At the risk of getting duffed up, it sounds to me like Asterisk is the better solution for you. We've used it for a few years, and - although I cannot disagree with your implied comments about its coding style - it's pretty stable, and you're likely to find it easier to set up than FreeSWITCH. There's also a lot more documentation for Asterisk, some of which is even correct..! Asterisk will also support your BRIs directly - either through cards in the machine or something like Xorcom's external interfaces . Cheers -- Dave
I have to implement a production software PBX. After some googling I came out with two candidates: Asterisk and FreeSwitch.
Asterisk looks like crap; granted, it's working in many installations and seems to be readier for prime time. But just looking at their bugs puts me away. Segfaults all over the place, crashes after handling a few hundred calls: in short, very poor, sloppy programming I think. Maybe I'm wrong here?
I like the way things are handled here and I like the coding style a lot. I think it's a matter of time FS becomes a great piece of software. Also from looking at the bug tracker the issues don't seem to be like those plaguing Asterisk.
What are your thoughts? apart from the obvious bias you have for FS since you are here?
I'd also like to read documentation if I have to consider FreeSwitch. I see the wiki is incomplete in many places. There are variables/applications I can't even begin to guess what they do.
Also I'm aware that FS is a platform and Asterisk if just a PBX so its ambitions are greater; in fact I only want a PBX not a communications framework but as I've said above I feel Asterisk is going to be a lot of pain.
The PBX will have to handle no more than 24 calls through 12 BRI channels. The local phones will be SIP and the traffic will be mainly incoming calls although outgoing calls will be made also. I've never touched anything VoIP so I'm a total newbie.
Thanks, Lucia Rotger
