Hello David,

I'm new to the list. I've been evaluating Sipwitch for a contract
project. I think this idea is a good one. I had to read the source code
to determine the auto-configure access rules and overlay them with the
default configuration XML in my head to understand what was going on.
This is far from an intuitive process.

Other than that I found the Sipwitch configuration process not bad
compared to Asterisk, though call authorization was much more
complicated than I expected. Eventually I discovered I had to add my IP
address on the public Internet as the SIP "Realm" configuration to
authorize two registered clients to call each other.

I'm experimenting with Freeswitch for the next few weeks so I won't have
much more to contribute here until next month.

Thanks for your hard work,
Lee
