How do I set up an existing call to dial out to a new terminal which is included in a conference with the two existing legs of the call? When the dialplan executes the Dial(<terminal>) command, control does not return to the dialplan until the terminal disconnects, after which it's obviously too late to conference it. Is there a conference command or option that lets the dialplan dial out to a terminal to a new conference member? Is there a dial command or option that returns control to the dialplan for then calling a conference command on the dialed terminal, or executes another command inside the process cycle of the dial command that adds the dialed terminal to a conference, after the terminal answers but before it hangs up? -- (C) Matthew Rubenstein
Matt, I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do, but you should just be able to throw that call into the conference with a context... something like [throw-into-conference] exten => s,1,MeetMe(1234) Whatever you are using to start the dialplan dialing should throw the call into this context when it completes.

You should be able to make it achieve what you want. Cheers Tony -- Tony Mountifield Work: tony@softins.co.uk - http://www.softins.co.uk Play: tony@mountifield.org - http://tony.mountifield.org
