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?)
Regards,
Daniel
