As with Asterisk there's no official GUI, but there are several open source projects providing one. Or you can build your own. A few include blue.box (2800hz project) and FusionPBX. http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Freeswitch_Gui
Hi, i know there is always the possibility to build my own, but that's not the point, i prefer something ready to use, i neither use those kind of GUIs, those are for my customers, as i always prefer working on a command line and i don't have plans to change my mind regarding this.
As for G729 which you mentioned... do NOT use the Intel IPP codec. It is ILLEGAL unless you have purchased a valid licence for it, which is extremely unlikely. You can support it using a hardware transcoding card (Sangoma), mod_com_g729 (version licensed by FreeSWITCH) and mod_g729 (which is passthrough only, no transcoding but fine for bridging calls).
I know the use of the free g.729 is illegal, but if you want to test it without going to production i don't see the reason why i can't use it on my batcave.
chan_mobile's closest match is probably mod_gsmopen. I believe it uses a cable rather than bluetooth though, and is faily new so probably 'experimental'.
Comming from the asterisk world i understand experimental is the same as not working, beta = maybe, and first stable means some release behind for production environments. Anyway chan_mobile is a hack module but works fine for one or two cell phones. Anybody have used mod_gsmopen ? does this thing really works ? do you have to transfer the dial number tones for making a call ? it that's true i still prefer a sip gateway and a cell plant. I would love to have something like asterisk's chan_sebi running under freeswitch (it never works for me on asterisk but the idea is nice, very nice)
IAX2 is supported by mod_opal. As you noted though, it isn't as stable as say mod_sofia.
discarded, i prefer to use asterisk in another machine for that and brigde the calls to asterisk via SIP. (see chan_mobiles comments for explanation :) )
For fax handling check the T38 functionality provided by mod_spandsp.
T.38 seems good, anybody have been able to make it work with hylafax ?? is possible ? Slds. -- Nestor A. Diaz Ingeniero de Sistemas Tel. +57 1-485-3020 x 211 Cel. +57 316-227-3593 Tel. SIP: sip:211@tiendalinux.com Email/MSN: nestor@tiendalinux.com http://www.tiendalinux.com/ Bogota, Colombia
