Does anybod have a suggestion on how I can pick up a call from my extension
for another extension that is ringing.  I have a channel bank with multiple
extensions and when a call comes in for someelse, I want to pick it up.  I
know I can go thru a complicated dial plan to eventually ring me for the
caller might not be patient.

Uriel

A somewhat related but not 100% question...

If I define a callgroup in zapata.conf and in modem.conf like so:
modem.conf:
group=1         ; group=1,2,3,9-12
features=dtmf
msn=96941100
callerid=asreceived
device => /dev/ttyI0
device => /dev/ttyI1

group => 1
busydetect => no
immediate => yes
context => remote
signalling => fxs_ls
callerid=asreceived
stripmsd => 1
channel => 1

What do I do in extensions.conf to use all three channels when making my
outbound calls?

exten => _0.,1,Dial,Zap/g1/${EXTEN:0}||rt
exten => _0.,1,Dial,Modem/g1:${EXTEN:0}||rt

At the moment, I can use these two lines to dial either of the channels on
the ISDN line, or the single zapata channel, but how can I call any one of
the three whichever is available??

For the part that does relate to the previous question, can these
callgroup/pickupgroup cross different technologies but still be the same
logical group?

Adam
