Freeswitch can provide many PBX features with additional modules, but
asterisk can provide more, and its implementations of such items are
more time tested.  One of freeswitch's big strengths is its ability to
handle many SIP registrations.  This is not asterisk's strength (at
least not historically).  One of Asterisk's big strengths is its
multitude of services and features.  This is not freeswitch's
strength.  Combine freeswitch and asterisk to get the best of both
worlds.
