Does anyone have a script for manual wardialer for asterisk? not sure if "wardialer" is the correct term but basically I want to call X number say 555-0000 through 555-0050 and be able to listen to each call and when I hang up or press a key it will dial the next number for me. I guess sort of like "scanning" an exchange but I want to be on the line and if possible complete / talk on certain calls.

Options: ... g - Proceed with dialplan execution at the current extension if the destination channel hangs up ... H - Allow the calling party to hang up by hitting the '*' DTMF digit. ... So all that's left for you is to run a loop of 50 Dial-s in the dialplan. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest at local.xorcom.com/tzafrir

I think Vicidial is a huge overkill for your description of needs. You make it sound as if only one person would be dialing one number at a time and only pause on an answer and only for the duration connected. Thanks, Steve Totaro

Legalities aside, I could see valid use for such a dialer.<br>
<br>
If you ran a call center/business and had a couple hundred or even<br>
thousands of (sequential) DIDs and you wanted to audit routing, then<br>
this would be a good tool.<br>
<br>
I have seen many unwieldy and gigantic systems that have numbers that<br>
go to the wrong department or even dead ends. A contact at ADT has<br>
asked for similar functionality.<br>
<br>
BTW, I will be releasing a dialer under the GPL shortly that has a<br>
very low profile, AJAX web interface, and will be able to do just what<br>
you want. You will have to upload the numbers to the system as CSV<br>
file, but that should be able to create in any spreadsheet program.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

I can tell you that it is an actual asterisk application (with a conf file) and html for the web interface (and obviously a database). Thanks, Steve Totaro

Do you mind if include my area code and exchange in your script as an exception to your "scanning"? Anyone else care to be on that exception list? Actually, it might be more efficient for me to ask who cares to be on the list to be scanned. Anyone? Anyone at all? ;-) b.
I would say anyone in the USA that is on the donotcall.gov list should also be excluded -- unless you either qualify as an exemption or like paying $10k for each violation. Brian J.
