asterisk users - Jun 2004 - Problem when dialing in manager terminal

Hi,

I have configured chan_oss and chan_capi (asterisk from CSV on Monday),
and I can dial from the console:

*CLI> dial 830774
     -- Executing Dial("OSS/dsp", "CAPI/872058:b830774|60")
in new stack
     -- Called 872058:b830774
     -- CAPI[contr1/872058]/3 is making progress passing it to OSS/dsp
...

Now I want to dial via telnet for later usage by a soft phone
application, which should be able to remote control asterisk.

I telneted to port 5038, logged in and typed:
 > Action: Originate
 > Context: local
 > Exten: 4080915
 > Priority: 1
 > Callerid: testtest
 > Channel: OSS/dsp
 >
Then I get:
 > Response: Error
 > Message: Originate failed
and in the console:
 > channel.c:1828 ast_request: No channel type registered for 'OSS'
 > channel.c:1744 __ast_request_and_dial: Unable to request channel
 >    OSS/dsp

What went wrong?
Thanks for any hints!
Roger.

Action "Command", which I just discovered, is now my friend:

 > Action: Command
 > Command: Dial 123456
 >

seems to fit well for a softphone application
with the local soundcard.
At least it has solved my problem and works well for me.


Roger.
