[asterisk-users] Issue with trying to dial two different servers at the same time.
Okay, so my issue isn't really a technical one but more of needing advice on the best way to program this. I have a user in Colorado who works from home but frequents our office in Colorado. All of our remote users connect to a server in Dallas the users at the HQ in Colorado connect to a separate server in the Colorado office that is on the private network. I have an IAX trunk between the two servers. I also have an IAX trunk from my local server here in Texas. I am using this dial command to try to ring both phones at the same time: exten => 12109,1,Dial(iax2/castle-rock/109&iax2/colo/17128,20) This has one flaw, if for whatever reason his home phone isn't connected, like it isn't now, than when I call 12109 I get his home voicemail as it picks up right away. How can I program this so that even if the voicemail on 17128 or 109 pick up it still rings the other phone? Thank you all for your advice. -- Steve Anness

It requires the callee to hit "1" to connect. That way, an answering machine would never make it through... unless the callee puts the tone for a "1" in his voicemail greeting. :-) You might also consider AMD [2] (answering machine detection), but I don't know much about it.
