I saw a couple of posts about this in the archive, but none seemed specifically to address the problem I am having. If I missed something please let me know. Right now I would classify myself as "novice," and there is probably really nothing so trivial that I couldn't possibly have screwed it up. :-) I'm trying to use the AMD command to detect answering machines, and have tested it with no luck. This is what I get: > Channel SIP/gafachi-081c81a8 was answered. -- Executing [15155515509 at robocop2:1] Set("SIP/gafachi-081c81a8", "CALLERID(number)=6666666666") in new stack -- Executing [1515555509 at robocop2:2] Set("SIP/gafachi-081c81a8", "CALLERID(name)=Robocop") in new stack -- Executing [15155515509 at robocop2:3] AMD("SIP/gafachi-081c81a8", "") in new stack -- AMD: SIP/gafachi-081c81a8 5555555555 (null) (Fmt: 4) -- AMD: initialSilence [2500] greeting [1500] afterGreetingSilence [800] totalAnalysisTime [5000] minimumWordLength [100] betweenWordsSilence [50] maximumNumberOfWords [3] silenceThreshold [256] -- AMD: Changed state to STATE_IN_SILENCE -- AMD: Channel [SIP/gafachi-081c81a8].

I haven't done anything with ztdummy - is that my problem? It seems like it could be a timing issue, but I couldn't find any mention of ztdummy being needed for AMD. I have seen some stuff that talks about frames just not being sent over VOIP when there is silence, so maybe it has something to do with that? I have updated to the latest build of app_amd.c and still have had no luck, although originally things would just hang completely on AMD so it was a step in the right direction. :-) Here's my dialplan: [robocop2] exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Set(CALLERID(number)=6666666666) exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Set(CALLERID(name)=Robocop) exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,AMD exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,GotoIf($[${AMDSTATUS}=HUMAN]?human:machine) exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n(human),Playback(rick-roll-short) exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Hangup exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n(machine),WaitForSilence(5000) exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Playback(mr-roboto-short) exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Hangup I'm running all this on fedora core 4 with a 2.6.16 kernel. Happy to provide any more information that would be useful in helping me solve this problem.
