More than one hundred messages related to *8 or call pickup problem in
last 6 months!!
Please someone in the development team could clarify this and make
himself responsible for the response.
By now It seems a bad joke.
We have spent thousand dollars with hardware, sip phones, working men
hours, and with digium stuff (E1, fxo, fxs cards etc)
and we have had the *8 problem (sip callee ringing forever) al least for
6 months.
This made us to lose at least a couple of clients ("a IP PBX where you
are not able to pickup correctly other SIP extensions, are you fooling,
come back next year" ) an we keep reading again and again people saying
it is not working, and a couple of enlighted people saying their have
the luck to have it working!!
Please this is not serious!
This should be fixed for every-one-of-us (if you are one of the lucky
boys send a sip.conf to THIS LIST or post it in wiki-asterisk with a
couple of client definitions where people from the earth will be able to
pick up it) or be recogniced as not working (most of the time if you
prefer) and ask for someone to solve it (as an open bug report for example).
Is not so complicated stuff to put a callgroup=1 an a pickupgroup=1 in a
file to suspect we are all fools not getting it to work because of some
sort of mental illness, or I'm wrong. If someone feels himself
intelligent by this, he have a problem!!
The money we have invested in Digium and Asterisk stuff in the last six
months is the same money half of the people in my country
has to live eighteen years!! More or less 450 times our basic salary
here, so:
Please, there is people betting on open source software and loosing
money out there because of these "funny details", and that's the
same
people making Digium earn their bucks.
Sorry for my "bad" (o I should say mad?) english :(
Thanks for your attention guys
Luis
Pd: despite *8 pickup, asterisk is great (most of the time) :)

It's been working fine for me on cvs Head for months. We have to use
*8# from a sip phone however.
