[Opensim-users] freeswitch problems (talk button)

unfortunately it worked only in windows.. Not in linux..  and the other
problem I ran into was the IP address. Not the ISP.. keep in mind the
tutorial was made for local mode only. not across from one ISP to another.
ALTHOUGH it will work that way. Its about HOW you setup the connection
strings. As was previously stated do NOT use domain names but the IP numbers
themselves.

Sadly, I do not have the windows configs..  HOWEVER my company and i are
working on a linux / windows PBX version of our own. I'll give an update in
a few weeks on the status of it.
