I guess I was looking for something a little more details, as indeed you
did say that up front. I understand you had previously used Asterisk,
so was wondering how you felt the two compared, I guess.
Also, having actually integrated ENUM with an Asterisk dialplan,
I wished to be able to stab the people who designed both the language
and the ENUM integration.
I hoped you had configured ENUM in FreeSWITCH and could shed light on
how difficult or easy you found it: a one line change, a dozen lines of
JavaScript, a thousand lines of XML, or you gave up after a month?
I understand that it can be hard to transport that information from
person to person, but it would give me some idea how pleasant you found
the process. :)

Ah. So, no shipped trivial answering machine script. Oh, well. Life,
I suppose, does not always suit my convenience. :)

Yeah. I am aware this limits my options, and potentially makes it more
difficult for me to benefit from help from some other users.
I feel, overall, that this is counterbalanced by less overall pain and
suffering on my part, and to date has meant that only one project was
inaccessible to me — they used only IRC.
Anyway, my personal tastes are not your problem, and thank you for the
suggestion. :)
