Hi, I'm starting to play with Asterisk and the queues. Although I have found many references to the queues.conf in the wiki, I haven't been able to find answers to the following: 1) If I understand correctly, an agent can belong to more than one queue. Does that mean that as soon as the agent logs in, that agent can receive calls from either of the queues s/he belongs to? 2) When the agent is making outbound calls and I wish to identify the calls as belonging to one campaign or another, is there a way to identify that? 3) When callers call into the * box and the agents are busy, they will be put on the queue. Now, I wish to be able to tell the callers they are in position X in the queue. However, if after, say, 30 seconds no agent is available yet, I wish to give the caller the opportunity to listen to a IVR where s/he can make a decision whether to continue holding, be transfered to another agent group, or leave a message. Is this possible? Does anyone have any sample of how to do this? Thanks, Daniel

The person can jump out of queue at anytime or you can set an 'overflow' to an IVR menu.> Thanks, > Daniel > > _______________________________________________ > Asterisk-Users mailing list > Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
