[asterisk-users] Asterisk with or without OpenSER

[mail-lists]

Steve,

Hijacking this post here - How 'good' is freeswitch currently. I'm 
looking for some sort of SIP proxy and have looked into openser and ser.
Freeswitch seems to have more functionality than these and it seems a 
lot easier to configure. I particularly like the xml config files, etc.

Our long term goal is to use some sort of SBC for sip registrations, 
call routing, maybe even basic applications like voicemail and use 
Asterisk for media gateways, maybe transcoding, etc.

Am I completely missing the mark as to whether freeswitch can do this 
sort of thing or is there a 'better' way to do it.


Thanks!
