All, Using SIP with progressinband=yes I get Asterisk to generate the ringing sound for callers. However, I was wondering if it is possible to configure what is 'played back' to the calling party? i.e. instead of just 'ring ring' could I potentially play back a song from an MP3, WAV or GSM file? I'm thinking it would be quite cool to offer a customised 'ring' sound while the caller is waiting for you to pick up? How can I do this with Asterisk or some external module perhaps? Any advice welcome! Cheers, Ray
The 'm' option in the dial command, from memory.

Another chap was working on a similar problem - have a look at the asterisk-dev thread titled "app_dial.c modification" started by Darren Nay on the 24th Jan 2007. I don't know if he's got it working yet, but it might be worth getting in touch with him. Cheers, Nic. -- Nic Bellamy, Head Of Engineering, Vadacom Ltd - http://www.vadacom.co.nz/
