[Freeswitch-users] Retiring the FreeSWITCH Mailing list

Wed Jan 4 01:46:26 UTC 2023

John,

We did look at the accessibility of the forum software we choose, it should
work with screen readers or other tools that are used for accessibility on
your PC,  Let me know if you have any issues with it.

Thanks,
