Hello,

I would not recommend using FreePBX with VICIDIAL, mostly for
efficiency and ease-of-use issues. The FreePBX calling path can
contain dozens of steps, all slowing down and causing problems for
VICIDIAL calls that are trying to go out. Not to mention the CallerID
control issues that will cause you problems with a stock
FreePBX/VICIDIAL system

I usually recommend getting a separate server that goes to your
FreePBX server over IAX if you will be using it in production. The
VICIDIAL server would only have the sample VICIDIAL conf files and the
changes needed to get your IAX trunk working.
