Hi, I am sorta a newbie to the asterisk community at least in the realm of hardware types. I was wondering, what type of card is used to allow asterisk, on a slackware installation to talk to a standard phone line so that asterisk can call out? Dan

I have been looking around for Outlook Integration for Asterisk. Saw the Asterisk TAPI wiki page and also ran across this: http://www.fonality.com/pop.cgi?page=pop_pbxtray.tt (PBXtray) It looks like Fonality has managed to make an app that does screen pops and allows click to dial. Has anyone else been able to get this all to work successfully? Looks pretty slick.

I was wondering, does anyone know if it is possible to have a stream of audio coming from a Microsoft compressed audio stream fed to the caller if they are placed on hold and if so how might this be done? Dan - dadams@aspect1.net

I have had some radom occurances of someone calling in, and for whatever reason the person is getting dumped into the section of the lcr.agi file that output the message of "it is necessary to dial x". I was curious, does any one know about a variable that might be available in the AGI that would tell me what channel they are coming in on. I looked in the wiki and found

It seems on my phone, which is hooked up to a large pbx network powered by an asterisk server, that it will randomly start ringing with a callerid# of 2013 which is its username for that phone. I have looked and been watching on the asterisk command line with the -vvvvvvr switch and nothing has been seen that indicates a reason for this random ringing. This leads me to think that this trouble

I am curious partly because it has occurred randomly in my asterisk system. How does one go about creating a .call file for placing a call between two extensions/phones? I know this has been mentioned and is probably in one of the wikis somewhere, but I am unsure exactally how to go about doing it. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Dan
