...nd just update them as new years rollover. I suspect others have done this sort of thing with Asterisk before, but I've not found any resources so far.

...didn't work because it won't install the man pages and headers in there for some reason. But its installing fine in /usr/local/bin which appears to be its default install location anyway, so I'd prefer to go with that and keep this simple if I can. -- ======================= Myles Wakeham Director of Engineering Tech Solutions USA, Inc.

...there are companies out there charging for this sort of thing (like SpoofID, etc.) but since we may already have the technology in place for this, I was hoping I could roll my own 'home grown' version of it.

I have a new Asterisk system going into production next week and I'm a bit stumped as to the best way to handle the Dialplans for it. The Asterisk system is replacing 4 separate PSTN lines with both SIP & PSTN inputs. The setting up of the dial plan is giving me some design headaches, which probably means I'm missing something obvious and doing this the hard way. I have separate

I am revising our DialPlan strategy for our Asterisk system (1.4.2) and looking for some info on 'best practices' for this. Here's what I'm trying to do: I have an ACD menu that gives the caller the options as follows: - Press 1 for sales - Press 2 for support - Press 3 for customer service - Press 8 for a 'Dial by Name' list or enter the extension number at anytime

I have a small Asterisk 1.4.2 system that I run out of my home based business, and my Dialplan has it set to send any incoming call to my desk Grandstream phone. Works really well. When I leave the office, I need to re-direct the calls to my cell phone. I tried to do this through my Grandstream phone, but it really didn't work all that well. Callers would tell me that they tried to

For some reason our Asterisk box is doing something really unusual following applying a routine update to CentOS 5 on Monday. We have Asterisk 1.4.2 and its been working great for years. But now when the phone system receives an incoming SIP call, its not providing any audible dial sound to any caller. It is recognizing the incoming call, and after no answer for about 5 rings or so, it goes to
