I've seen alot of posts lately on Queue and Agent functionality, and alot of hacks to make them do different things that most call center managers want. In the sake of doing this one time, I'd like to develop a single list of request so we can consolidate a feature request for the Queue/Agent system. Here are the ones that I run into the most: 1. Queue should know the status of agents

Hi, we are using asterisk with Junghanns QuadBri and some sip phones. 2 channels are configured in NT mode (ISDN PBX connected, internal ) and 2 channels are connected to the public ISDN network (bri-cpe).
