Hello

For single-host settings, getting customers to buy a separate server
just to run Freeswitch is overkill, so I'm thinking about selling
just the IVR application to run on Windows. Unless a PCI card is
available, the FXO connection will be provided by Sangoma's USB device.

I'd like some feedback on running Freeswitch on XP and Vista: Is it
ready for production use? Does it require beefy hardware?

Thank you for any hint.

There is currently no openzap (sangoma, etc) support on windows, we
hope this will be coming soon.

I found an alternative: The Linksys 3102 VoIP gateway. It's cheaper too.

Would you say the Windows port of Freeswitch is ready to be used
commercially, or I should go for a Linux box instead?

Thank you.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know this device. I'm not sure I
understand the difference between this PCI card and other Sangoma PCI
cards that offer an FXO port, though :-/

mercutioviz > Is there a compelling reason to use a Windows machine?

Yes. I'd like to offer a really cheap solution for those customers
who don't mind using their workstation as Freeswitch IVR server, so I
can just provide a Linksys VoIP gateway and the software for Windows,
and they're ready to go. I'll go ahead and play with the Windows port
of Freeswitch, and see how it goes.

Thank you.

I'm doing what you want to do and using SPA3102. 
It's much easier to get someone to try it this way when dealing with small mom and pop size business. 
Haven't tried higher concurrent call volumes with some of the PCI cards mentioned.
If you haven't done this already, my advice is first to see whether there is enough of a market for you and what the issues will be with potential customers before investing to much time on the technical side. That means putting on your suit on and visiting businesses for a few months with a notebook. I'll tell you some things, first their maybe many businesses that don't want an internet connection and don't even bother mentioning voip if you want to resell that service. The rest you'll find out.


Good luck.


Mark.
