They both ('shelling out' or calling an AGI) have the same 'impact' on system resources. You can even write an AGI in shell if you lack the skills for other languages like C, PHP, or Perl. You should be able to cobble up an AGI in PHP (or Perl, but I'm not much of a Perl coder myself) just by cutting and pasting from some of the examples on voip-info.org. This simple task would be a great way for you to 'get your feet wet.' What will you do if the file is not available? -- Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Edwards sedwards at sedwards.com Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000
