asterisk users - Jan 2005 - cant do it in CLI anymore?

Hi Floks,

This is probably really dumb but here goes:

I used to be able to place calls to my SIP phones from the CLI using the 
'Dial' command for testing. I have installed asterisk on a new machine
and
copied over the .confs and started it up. It all works fine. But when I try 
to initiate a call from the CLI using 'Dial' it just says:


*CLI> Dial
No such command 'Dial' (type 'help' for help)
*CLI>


the same thing for Answer, Hangup, etc

what have I missed?

cheers,
Mick

Hi,

Do you have load chan_oss/chan_alsa ? if not then you can't use
'Dial' app.
Hope this help. :)
