      Well, as far as FreeSwitch itself goes:

      http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_Guide#FreeBSD

      which would be the better approach, because the pre-compiled thing used here:

      http://wiki.fusionpbx.com/index.php?title=PfSense_Install

      doesn't support fax reception, and also it's not a very friendly way to go forward to rely on a specific compiled binary.

      So from what one can glean from this, Apache isn't a requirement, at least not in pfSense 2.x++, however SQLite is required. Also, since FusionPBX is now at 3.x, following the directions exactly would just result in an outdated system anyway…

      Source either here:
      http://code.google.com/p/fusionpbx/source/checkout
      or here
      http://code.google.com/p/fusionpbx/downloads/list

      There also seems to be a FreeBSD port, given this snippet of info:

      http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2012-May/234223.html

      Here's an overview of a FreeBSD build/install, which also may contain useful info:

        Thanks for the suggestions guys.

        I will attempt to experiment with this over the weekend and report back on how things go.

            Thank me, if you actually get it to work :D

            Let me know, if you do. It's on my to-do list to play with this, but right now, I'm a bit under water with other things…
            ...but I'd love to have my answering machine/fax running on pfSense at some time, and be able to reroute my calls, etc.
            Not a high-volume application, but maybe a high-sophistication one, because I'm not the typical telco user...

                The maintainer name and email are in pkg_config.8.xml on Github https://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense-packages/blob/master/pkg_config.8.xml This appears to be mcrane on the forum, but there is no forum activity for about a year. Maybe you can email him at the gmail address in the file and see what the status is.

                    Shame about the maintainer :(

                    I got FreeSWITCH to successfully install. I'm still unsure about configuring it in my setup although I assume I need to configure FreeSWITCH to bind to my LAN interface (not the WAN)

                        How funny … I just sat down to consider this I saw your post ...

                        I'm hoping to look at this tonight from a fresh perspective - I'll let you know if I have any luck.

                          Hi,

                          Was there any status update on this?

                          I'm also looking for a FreeSwitch package for 2.1….

                          Cheers,
                          Victor
