I’m in the same boat, finding the
transition from Asterisk to FS very frustrating. Something I can do in
Asterisk in 10 minutes is taking me a day with FS.
Do I think it’s worth it?
Absolutely, but it’s incredibly painful at times.
What I’ve done is to create some
WIKI pages to help those familiar with Asterisk to understand the nuances of
FS. I posted them in the user pages. Hopefully when there are
enough contributions we can have a section on the main WIKI entitled ‘Asterisk
conversion’ or something.
Asterisk is very forgiving and takes a lot
of the pain away from doing simple tasks. FS on the other hand is less
forgiving, but you have more control. Being a control freak I like that.
I kind of liken Asterisk to the early versions
of basic. Each command had a line number. You could be up and
running basic apps in a few hours. Then jump to C, and you’ll spend
ages doing a simple task, but once you’ve mastered it, you’ll never
go back.

[newbie] Clean start with asimple configuration
I think the crux of the matter is "I can't get Freeswitch to do
_just_ this" (emphasis added). Users that are relatively new to
FreeSWITCH but Asterisk veterans want to know how to build a simple, lean
configuration. I'm trying to figure it out myself right now.
If simplified configs are only going to be posted after 1.0.3 what's
the best place to post my findings and configs? Is there an explicit,
sanctioned place for this kind of thing on the Wiki already?

FreeSWITCH default config already has this feature. Register two
phones... 1000 and 1001 both with password of 1234 then you can call
between them. That will work exactly as you want out of the box.
Expect more simplified configs to show up after 1.0.3.

I want that also with Freeswitch. It is a good starting point but i
am fiddeling with it for a couple of days now, read the docs but i
can't get Freeswitch to do just this. So just calling between a few
local sip phones with transcoding and _everything_ else disabled.
