[Freeswitch-users] How does FS compare with OpenSIPs?
Hello There's an excellent article on FS vs. Asterisk, but unless I missed it, there's no equivalent to OpenSIPs (www.opensips.org). At this point, apart from the fact that OpenSIPs is not available for Windows, how does FreeSwitch compare with OpenSIPs, what are the strengths and weaknesses of each project? I need to know before recommending one or the other.

[Freeswitch-users] Starting Freeswitch at boot-time with rc.d script?
Add-on: The script is almost fine now, but I don't know whether the script really requires a config file, and if yes, where it can be found (the XML file doesn't seem to be it): FREESWITCH_PARAMS="-nc" FREESWITCH_BIN=/usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch #BAD!!! FREESWITCH_CONFIG=/usr/local/freeswitch/conf/freeswitch.xml #. $FREESWITCH_CONFIG Thank you. ___ Freeswitch-users mailing list Freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users http://www.freeswitch.org
[Freeswitch-users] Starting Freeswitch at boot-time with rc.d script?
Hello I'm struggling to have Freeswitch start automatically in a Suse host at boot-time through the rc.d script provided in SVN. Here's what I did so far: 1. cp /usr/src/freeswitch/build/freeswitch.init.suse /etc/init.d/freeswitch 2. chmod 755 /etc/init.d/freeswitch 3. chkconfig freeswitch 345 4. chkconfig -l freeswitch 5. ln -s /usr/sbin/rcfreeswitch /etc/init.d/freeswitch 6. Edited /etc/init.d/freeswitch to correct the following two lines: #FREESWITCH_BIN=/opt/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch FREESWITCH_BIN=/usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch #FREESWITCH_CONFIG=/etc/sysconfig/freeswitch FREESWITCH_CONFIG=/usr/local/freeswitch/conf/freeswitch.xml 7. Ran the script: /etc/init.d/freeswitch start [...] Session Rate[30] SQL [Enabled] 2009-03-25 11:54:56 [WARNING] switch_console.c:432 console_thread() We've become an orphan, no more console for us. => According to the FAQ, running Freeswitch without a console requires using the "-nc" switch. Should I edit the rc.d script further to use this, or is the issue elsewhere?

[Freeswitch-users] [Remote SIP client] Couple of questions
Hello, I have a couple of questions related to having SIP users connecting from the Net to a Freeswitch server through NAT routers on both ends: 1. How must I configure routers on both ends? I understand that I need to route incoming TCP/UDP 5080 into the Freeswitch server, but what about the other router? I guess I also need to route this port to let the SIP phone ring, but what about data (RTP/RTCP)? 2. The Freeswitch server is connected to the POTS with either an OpenVox PCI card or a Linksys 3102 box: When a call is made between the POTS and a remote SIP phone (ie. out there on the Net, not on the same LAN as the Freeswitch server), is there a way for data to flow directly from the POTS to the remote SIP client instead of through the Freeswitch server?

[Freeswitch-users] [SUSE Enterprise/FS 1.0.3] ODBC-related compile error
Brian West > We changed this to autodetect it means you have the libs but no devel headers.. either disable it or install the dev headers. Thanks guys, that was it: The stock SLED 10 that I have on this MSI host did have unixODBC.rpm but not its unixODBC-devel.rpm counterpart. I re-read the "Download & Installation Guide" page, which doesn't say that Freeswitch will compile for ODBC instead of SQLite if it detects unixODBC... but doesn't check that its counterpart unixODBC-devel is also installed :-/ I suggest that either the config/make script be updated to check for this, or the wiki be edited to tell users to check for both packages (if N.A. : yast install unixODBC-devel OR rpm -UVH unixODBC-devel.rpm) or configure Freeswitch to use SQLite instead of ODBC (good enough to get newbies started).

[Freeswitch-users] [SUSE Enterprise/FS 1.0.3] ODBC-related compile error
Hello, This is my first try at compiling Freeswitch (1.0.3). Since I have a Linux box lying around, I'm giving it a shot on a "SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 SP1 (i586)". Per the instructions in the wiki, I run "make", but get the following error : http://pastebin.ca/1369381 According to the archives, it's likely due to the missing ODBC-devel package. I have a couple of questions: 1. Does Freeswitch require ODBC? 2. Please forgive the newbie question, but... how do I find and install this package on Suse? Thank you. ___ Freeswitch-users mailing list Freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users http://www.freeswitch.org
[Freeswitch-users] Feedback on Freeswitch for Windows?
(sorry for the broken thread: I don't know how to avoid this when answering through the digest version of the mailing list) Michael Jerris > You could use Netborder Express with it. Thanks for the tip. I didn't know this device. I'm not sure I understand the difference between this PCI card and other Sangoma PCI cards that offer an FXO port, though :-/ mercutioviz > Is there a compelling reason to use a Windows machine? Yes. I'd like to offer a really cheap solution for those customers who don't mind using their workstation as Freeswitch IVR server, so I can just provide a Linksys VoIP gateway and the software for Windows, and they're ready to go. I'll go ahead and play with the Windows port of Freeswitch, and see how it goes.

[Freeswitch-users] Feedback on Freeswitch for Windows?
Michael Jerris > There is currently no openzap (sangoma, etc) support on windows, we hope this will be coming soon. I found an alternative: The Linksys 3102 VoIP gateway. It's cheaper too. Would you say the Windows port of Freeswitch is ready to be used commercially, or I should go for a Linux box instead?

[Freeswitch-users] Feedback on Freeswitch for Windows?
Hello For single-host settings, getting customers to buy a separate server just to run Freeswitch is overkill, so I'm thinking about selling just the IVR application to run on Windows. Unless a PCI card is available, the FXO connection will be provided by Sangoma's USB device. I'd like some feedback on running Freeswitch on XP and Vista: Is it ready for production use? Does it require beefy hardware?

[Freeswitch-users] Windows-compatible FXO PCI card?
Hello For SOHO users, getting a second, Linux-based computer just to run a small voice server is overkill, so I'm thinking of selling an application based on the Windows version of Freeswitch. Instead of the Sangoma USB connector, I'd really prefer to sell them a PCI card, because it's less messy, and there's less chance of them disconnecting the hardware. I don't know of FXO PCI cards to connect an XP/Vista host to a phone line. Does someone know of such a thing?
