Fwd: FW: [Asterisk-Users] Creating Queues on Asterisk server - Sendingingress calls off-net to either PSTN or another VoIPapplication - thoughts?

To: Alexander Lopez <Alex.Lopez@opsys.com> Alexander, Thanks for your reply, may I ask a few questions? - Does the Asterisk server maintain any type or presence for the agents? (i'm assuming this wouldn't be possible since your shooting the call out POTS) - How do your off-network callback agents identify their location to the Asterisk server? - Are you able to describer your dialplan configuration in detail?
