Actually, out of curiosity, and since I want to get rid of Asterisk and replace it with something (anything, so help me, anything at all) else. FreeSWITCH is popular at the moment; the only other convincing option I have run across is yate. So, dear lazyweb, can you tell me: Have you actually used FreeSWITCH or YATE in a small SIP-only environment? Did it work well, reliably and with minimal maintenance? Did it work effectively as an answering machine for home? (That is, play a message, record the caller message, notify you, with nothing much more fancy than that available?)
