asterisk users - Nov 2010 - IAX or SIP - connecting two Asterisk servers together

Hello Folks;

Again, excuse my cluelessness.

I have an Asterisk server in the US - and I want to connect it to one in 
Europe.

Here is my scenario:

   1. call a phone number, my Asterisk box in the US answers
   2. perhaps a 'please wait' voice message
   3. it dials an extension on the other Asterisk box in Europe.

I am not looking for someone to do this for me, I am just not really 
sure how to get started. Perhaps some suggested reading, examples, etc?

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks much.

Glen

The simplest approach would be to skip the answering and just dial
through immediately, feeding back the destination's ring tone to the
originator.

Set up an IAX link between the two boxes (you could do it with SIP, but
I found IAX less trouble), then set up an appropriate bit of dialplan
logic on the American box, as it might be:

exten => 4682,1,Dial(IAX2/username at eurobox/8873)

This is fairly easy to do, and works well using the IAX protocol. There 
are a group of some 100-200 nodes worldwide doing something similar 
connecting electromechanical switches and collectors ( think amateur 
radio without the radio )
The way we are doing it wouldn't help you too much as we have a central 
reference point for line numbers, but there are nodes from NZ to the UK 
to the US that are interconnected on an as needed basis. Our  dialplan 
is based on ( in the US ) the NANP with no NPA, and outside the US 
existing country codes. We have had some amusing examples of hackers 
that have managed to break in and thinking they have PSTN access, ended 
up with some ( to them ) surprises. Call setup times are short, 1-2 
seconds generally, so I doubt you would even need a "please wait"
recording.
See ckts.info for more information on the network and some coding 
examples that might help.
