Since you are on a Windows platform anyway - you could also look at mod_managed, that would allow you build the application code in C#. The access to your existing DB would potentially remain the same. It would be quite easy to spin a monitor thread in C# and monitor a DB for new calls and dispatch those calls etc.

We currently use Dialogic HMP in a Windows environment and our app has ported well with out any change to the backend non telephony code.

We currently have this working on a Windows/Dialogic platform, but would
like to get it over to FreeSWITCH for a number of reasons.  It is always
nice to avoid spending alot of time developing using a method that you
later find has serious issues or limitations and then having to change
horses and start over.  I just thought I would tap on someone else's
wisdom in regards to a good way to talk to FS that works well.  I did
notice that the wiki talks like LUA is the preferred way to go.

Thanks
