Hi,

I don't have any spare zaptel enabled system I could try this on, but I was
not aware of this CHANNEL variable.
Now, I can see it here http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+variables
Maybe, I will add a line in www.voip-info.org to keep others (me?) from
searching again.

Thanks for helping

You should have looked in /path/to/arc/asterisk/doc/channelvariables.txt 
  There's lots of cool information there, and all of it is up to date 
for your version of Asterisk, unlike voip-info.org.

I often wonder why nobody seems to read the docs that are included with 
Asterisk.

So, should we (I can do it, if desired) write a script that polls 
subversion docs directory and imports it into voip-info.org when the the 
docs are changed?

I'd be glad to write and host such a script if the community desires the 
feature.

I've started the page at:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Documentation

But I'm having problems with logging in via a script - I emailed 
support at voipinfo.org and J. Thompson has been very responsive in my 
request for help. I'll post back here when I've got something online to 
show.

Cheers!
