As you my be aware the X100p cannot collect uk caller id, now I have a modem and a perl script that creates a file /etc/asterisk/callerid.txt on each incoming call in the format number,date,time,name over writing each time a new call comes in I can asterisk read this file and populate the callerid for internal phones and cdr? I think it can be done with AGI but don't know where to start could someone point me in the right direction Thanks in advance for your help Robb
Robert, As you've already got the modem recording the callerid etc, I shall presume you're perl and bash knowledge should be up to scratch. All you gotta do is, using AGI and perl, run a perl script which parses the info from the file and simply use AGI -> setcallerid to pass the number into asterisk. Good intro to AGI here http://home.cogeco.ca/~camstuff/agi.html AGI/perl related stuff here http://asterisk.gnuinter.net/ If you need some further help getting your script working, mail me offlist. Now, I've got some questions for you :) What modem model are you using and would you like to share your script which captures the uk callerid, as this has been a major shortcoming for asterisk with UK users.

Should be nice and simple to knock up a perl script to do it. I'll try and find some time over the weekend to knock up a script. If you don't hear from me on monday, feel free to drop me an email and harass me.. I have poor planning/time management skills ;) Jon -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/htWBS86vuCEovLcRAnfOAJ4qfXnxTrvyqIHR1CbCRmhWGTDgiACeOzxY DRndy4jqgqvmKnZW7gWHofE=1ZkW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Hi folks, I m playing and enjoying since fews weeks the plenty * power and I d like to know till where Asterisk can go... How many calls an Asterisk server can handle simultaneously ? What is happening when we reach the limit ?!? Earthquake is the office, implosion !?! If some of the guys in this list have some good infos about how to setup several Asterisk server, that would be really welcome or also how to create a safe architecture with severals servers, system relay when a server crash. Ares Nb : Is there some guys over that are planning to print so T-Shirt with Asterisk Lover - We believe in - ? Trust me, there is some business into !!!
