[Freeswitch-users] Switching from Asterisk to Freeswitch?

[Fred]

Hello

I successfully used Asterisk to build a voice server for our SOHO 
business. I did read the article comparing Asterisk to Freeswitch, 
but I have a couple of questions:

1. What are the decisive reasons that would justify taking a look at 
Freeswitch? What makes it a better option?

2. I'd like to build an affordable solution based on Asus' EeeBox and 
(because it's too small to add a PCI card) Sangoma's USB device to 
connect the host to POTS. Has someone successfully used Freeswitch to 
work on this hardware?

Thank you for your feedback.
