Bienvenido a FreeSWITCH! Yes, there are lots of things you can do. You probably need to consider a GUI front-end to your FreeSWITCH unless you have experience (or time to learn) how to configure and maintain FreeSWITCH.
From my experience, you can probably save some money, but migrating from an old analog PBX to a new VoIP system will still cost some money. Your old phones won't be useful on the new system without buying ATA's. You are better off buying Polycom IP550 or Cisco SPA504G phones. You will also need a server on which to run your VoIP system, possibly some network cabling in your office, and most likely some professional assistance with getting everything set up. So, FreeSWITCH itself is *gratis*, but there is still an investment in everything else. That said, I'm sure you can get everything you need for well under $4500.

Hi, My name is Francisco from México.
Here, in my work we have a very very old panasonic PBX(12 years old). We are growing and we need to increase our external lines(from 3 to 4) and our internal lines(from 6 to 10). Besides we need voice mail and voice menu too.
We asked for a quote to our panasonic dealer. The whole thing cost about 4,500 dollars.
My boss just saw a thing called FreeSwitch this morning looking for options in Google. He asked my to investigate what this thing called FreeSwitch is and if we could save some money using it instead of the panasonic solution. So, here I am.
I have some experience as linux sysadmin(we have 1 oracle linux server and 1 linux print server) nevertheless I don´t have any idea where and how to start this evaluation?
Please Would you give us a clue where to see If FreeSwitch could work for us?
Thanks for your kind help. _______________________________________________ FreeSWITCH-users mailing list FreeSWITCH-users@lists.freeswitch.org http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users http://www.freeswitch.org
