[Opensim-users] freeswitch problems (talk button)

Hurray, we got it working now as well! 

One word of warning though that might have caused us mixed test results
before:

Since the voice is parcel based. If you have a lot of small parcels, you
always must ensure that all people on the call are on the same parcel
(otherwise for those who are not there is no voice).

Regards,

Olli
