I just get started with it so my question maybe not well catch. Anyway to
do the VOIP call and IM we need to use two difference servers? which one is
asterisk for VOIP ? and other one for IM that is openfire ? or we can have
other choice better than this ?
Thank you for your help, I am waiting for your reply.
