Hi! I was a long time user of MySipSwitch service (www.mysipswitch.com) but it looks like they are planning to close their service. I can't use the replacement they have and would actually prefer some locally installed solution. Question - is it possible to use FreeSwitch exactly like MySipSwitch - just SIP Proxy with very flexible dial plan? With MySipSwitch it is possible to: - register service with multiple SIP providers as client - register your ATA with MySipSwitch - create smart dial plan (in Ruby) to route calls based on prefixes and/or call source and some other logic - accept and route calls from all registered providers MySipSwitch does not have any media capabilities - RTP is always established directly between call parties (no re-Invites either). If this is possible - is there any beginner guide for this? Also - I know that FreeSwitch could run in Windows as well as in Linux - would it be possible to use the above functionality in both OSes? Thanks, Dmitry -- DG NJ

This is easy once you understand the FreeSWITCH XML configuration.
- register your ATA with MySipSwitch
That's really a special case of the above.
- create smart dial plan (in Ruby) to route calls based on prefixes and/or call source and some other logic
FreeSWITCH can do better than that: there are lots of variables which can be matched by Perl-compatible regular expressions, including the destination number.
- accept and route calls from all registered providers
That's handled in the same way as the previous item.
MySipSwitch does not have any media capabilities - RTP is always established directly between call parties (no re-Invites either).
FreeSWITCH gives you a choice: you can use proxy media or bypass media modes if you don't want it to handle the media.
If this is possible - is there any beginner guide for this?
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/ is the best there is. It is being improved by the community over time. You can also take advantage of the IRC channel, the FreeSWITCH conference and of course the mailing list.

Thank you very much for the reply... I had some experience with FreeSwitch about a year ago, but did not have more time to check all the features. And there wasn't much documentation available then. I'll give it another try this time. Thanks, Dmitry -- DG NJ
