Yah, I think this is the right answer. FreeSwitch is a great deal newer than asterisk and has a more logical configuration system imho. The big one is FusionPBX which is web based and runs on top of FreeSwitch - I suspect this is the main driver for do it yourself deployments these days.

I haven't used FreeSwitch and wanted to see a brief comparison between it and Asterisk. Here's what I found for those interested https://www.whichvoip.com/articles/freeswitch-vs-asterisk.ht...

I looked into FreeSWITCH ~5-6 years ago, while I started a complete re-write of some answering service software I had written with PHP and Asterisk back in 2007. Asterisk has the AMI (Asterisk Manager Interface), which would give me realtime information about calls, which I could use to capture all the stuff I needed and popup windows on screens and all that jazz. FreeSWITCH didn't have anything that gave me all the info I would have need to replicate that. Of course, this might have been updated since then.

Yes it has ESL now that is kind-of similar.
