I am a new asterisk user and I love what I see so far. I have a question about distinctive ring though. In my situation, we have 1 phone number for voice calls and one for faxes. They share the same line, and right now I use vgetty with mgetty+sendfax and VOCP to deal with calls and faxes. Vgetty detects the ring type and answers the phone with a hayes modem in fax mode and calls a script that I use to process the faxes. If it is a voice call then vgetty hands it over to vocp. I am replacing the vocp part of the process with asterisk, but I still need to be able to get faxes on the line. I need to have asterisk ignore the call if it has the fax ring and let vgetty deal with it. Of course, I also need vgetty to ignore the voice ring. I know how to do this in vgetty, but I am a little confused in asterisk. I found the stuff in zapata.conf and made the following changes: usedistinctiveringdetection=yes dring1=96,0,0 dring1context=inbound-analog dring2=336,95,0 dring2context=ignore-fax dring3=336,96,0 dring3context=ignore-fax dring4=338,98,0 dring4context=ignore-fax I have several ring types specified for the fax as it seemed that I got different ring patterns from time to time. Anyway, I put the inbound-analog and ignore-fax as contexts in my extensions.conf file. For the ignore-fax context I put the following hoping it would work, but it just answers the phone normally. [ignore-fax] exten => s,1,NoOp ; Ignore this one Any info/pokes in the right direction are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Cullen -- Cullen Simpson CompuCrew Inc.
