asterisk users - May 2008 - Unicall - How to automatically block collect calls

Hi!

I am using asterisk with unicall in brasil.

Everything was working fine, but now we want to set up a way to 
automatically drop collect calls, because we have an IVR answering all 
calls automatically!

Can you tell me, what I have to configure to block collect calls in the 
asterisk?

Thank you!
Best regards,

?scar Patr?cio

The latest version of the driver included in
http://www.moythreads.com/astunicall/ comes with a change that will
set the variable UC_CATEGORY in your dialplan, Brasil has a special
category for those calls, don't remember the name that will show up,
but you can make a couple of tests and then drop any call with that
specific category.

I think that VICIDIAL is pretty good(full disclosure, I wrote it). It
is currently in use at over 700 companies in over 70 countries around
the world and is available in 9 languages. 45 seats blended are no
problem for VICIDIAL, we even have some installtions running that are
over 300 seats.

As for integration with 3rd party software, we have integrated with
many different kinds of web-based and client/server applications for
our clients. Could you explain a little more exactly what functions
that you would want the call center software to perform, and what
functions you want your existing application to perform?

Thanks,
