[Opensim-users] freeswitch problems (talk button)

Hi John,

Are you saying that you now have this reliably working from different
locations/ISPs?

If yes, would you mind giving me the completely list of ports each client
side needs to configure, so I could see if that also fixes the issues we
have?

Also, did you end up having to make the changes to enter-sound as described
in my earlier post?

Regards,

Olli
