asterisk users - Sep 2003 - live monitoring

Hello,

I've search through all of the lists and cannot find any descriptions of
live monitoring (monitoring a phone call going on between an extension and a
zaptel channel live from another extension while the monitoring phone is
muted). I am aware of the monitor function which is actually a call
recorder, but I'm looking for live monitoring from a muted extension. is
this easily acomplished or is this a feature request?

Thanks,

MATT---

I would also be very interested in doing this. I don't think it's 
currently possible out-of-the-box, but presumably it wouldn't be 
terribly hard to hack up the meetme application to support this, 
provided it's possible to do a one-way audio conference. So, the 
question is, is it?

Various people seem to be having SIP NAT one-way issues, so we could 
pipe things out over a loopback device set up to block UDP going one 
way. Very nasty and hacky, but might be easy and not much hassle. :)

I see that zapbarge is integrated into my build of Asterisk, but could you
give me some simple instructions on how to use it, also where can we find
zapscan, I cannot find reference to it anywhere?

Do both of these simply monitor with one-way audio or do you need to mute
your phone before you execute them?

Thanks,

No need to reinvent the wheel -- use ZapBarge.  I have also modified 
ZapBarge into what I call 'ZapScan', which lets you scan through all of 
your Zap channels by pressing # to change channels.  It works great!
