Julian,

It might be better if you gave us the run-down on what your current Asterisk extension does. Most likely there is an elegant way of doing it in FreeSWITCH. Part of the unlearing of the Asterisk way is coming to grips with the fact that the FS dialplan is not a programming language in and of itself. While it's convenient to have GotoIf's all over the place, in the long run that's inefficient.

Let's start from the top-down instead of the bottom-up. Discussion your application in general terms, i.e., non-Asterisk-specific language. Tell us what it does, not how it does it, and then we can think it through using FS concepts.

I *think* i've got my head around using mod_curl_xml (?) to read all
the config stuff from my webserver. I *think* I've got my head around
setting up the sip clients etc etc ...

However, where I am really struggling is the dialplan. For the life of
me I simply cannot seem to grasp the fs way - that's no disrespect to
the fs way, but perhaps the failure of this old brain to change !

 have pastebinned an example of show 1234546@inboundq at
http://www.pastebin.ca/1544890. If possible, would someone be able to
show me how to convert this dialplan to the fs way ? If I could be
given a little foot-up I'm sure that I would be able to convert the
rest of the dialplan !

Thanks in advance, and please go easy !

Julian
