I didn't mean to touch a nerve there, I think you mis-interpreted 100% of my original post. You may also have me confused with some other Nik, as I contribute as much or more than I request . There is a nother Nik on here that are probably referring to. I am nikko from #freeswitch. I have made many edits and contributions to the wiki, patches and verified bug reports submitted to Jira. See my other responses inline. On Wed, Feb 11, 2009 at 10:48 PM, Anthony Minessale <anthony.minessale@gmail.com> wrote:
cool,
However.... you say...
"but a platform for sandbox testing of configurations, SOHO VOIP Switches, development of FS addons, backup switch capability, etc. Doing this stuff at home behind NAT and a consumer grade router is one reason Brian, Anthony, Mike, et al. are half crazy. "
First of all, you have no idea on what platform and where we do our development. If you only saw how many terminals to random servers spanning the globe we have open...... You have the NAT part right, if you knew the hours it took from behind NAT to get all the code right for SIP interop or even had to deal with half the bullshit it takes to get SIP working, you'd be in the madhouse so don't you dare try using us as an ad slogan.
I was adressing all the support hours you and others waste trying to help people get FS running on their home servers behind NAT, when they should be testing in an environment that more closely matches what their production one will be.
Secondly, we are not half crazy, we are completely crazy and most of it comes from spending all day on this list tending to your never-ending threads while trying to help the other people in the community who actually give something back.
If you want to use our list to advertise this service maybe you should find a way to contribute to the project rather than constantly asking for help in 5 separate emails in one day followed by another thread trying to sell something.
Sorry, you are mistaking me with another Nik. I'm nikko from #freeswitch, and contribute PLENTY.
A reasonable cost would be FREE just like everything else around here. I'm just trying to cover costs, and suport a single NOC engineer, and get more people to adopt FreeSWITCH. If people like Paige and others that come and go had a reasonable environment to test and configure in, they would not be saying crap like "this works in asterisk, blah blah blah".
Again, sorry to have upset you, but we had an email conversation an few days ago, and you and Brian were cool with my plans.

My goal is obviously not to provide carrier grade VOIP switch service, but a platform for sandbox testing of configurations, SOHO VOIP Switches, development of FS addons, backup switch capability, etc. Doing this stuff at home behind NAT and a consumer grade router is one reason Brian, Anthony, Mike, et al. are half crazy. I run my company's phone switch in a 32 bit OpenVZ VE with 256 Mb ram, and have no issues. When I goof around trying to transcode between 8 and 16 bit codecs and whatnot, sure it gets tight, but FS on an idle system keeps 23 mb of of ram resident, and rarely if ever hits a 256 mb bean counter (limit).
Also, these limits are not hard, I just know what my hardware has, and am trying to offer as much value as I can for what I have in the systems. 128 Gb of ECC ram and Quad/Quad Core zeons are still pretty pricey!

Actually you can if you don't overload the machine like most VPS providers do... The advantage with OpenVZ in this case is that you can migrate the running FreeSWITCH instance between hardware nodes and not drop calls at this size.
