asterisk users - Jan 2005 - What's the easiest way to call two people at same time and bridge them?

Anyone have a suggestion on how I can have my asterisk box make two
SIP or IAX calls and bridge the two together? It seems like it would
be easy to setup but the only way I'm finding seems to be setting up
meetme rooms.

Use the "Local" channel type. Let's say you have a context called
"phones" with some extensions defined that go to the places you
want to connect, e.g.

[phones]
exten => 2000,1,Dial(SIP/2000)

exten => 2100,1,Dial(SIP/2100)

Then you can ring them both and make them talk to each other by making
a .call file as follows, and putting it into /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing:

Channel: Local/2000@phones
Context: phones
Extension: 2100
Priority: 1

That will ring extension 2000, and then when it answers it will ring
extension 2100 and connect them together.

Hope this helps
Cheers

Hi Jess,

Although I am still VERY new to this list and VoIP, if I understand your
question correctly, I would say that there is a great example of how to do
this at:

Its a GREAT article.

How that this helps,
