I have a _very_ specific situation where I need queues to work in a very specific manner - I need the queue to only accept one call at a time, even though several phones are attached to it. My memory tells me that queues might have even worked this way in the distant past (pre 1.0)...but I am willing to be mistaken. Is this even remotely possible? PaulH

Any idea how to read an external file, grab some stuff and push it back into an Asterisk variable? I can do it the other way with: system(echo "${UNIQUEID} =>" >> /home/ast/curr_calls) but I'm a bit stumped on how to go the other way around.... much thanks, Paul Hales

Hi, I am trying to implement the callback feature of our old phone system. This feature may go by a different name in asterisk? It worked as follows. If phone A called phone B and it was BUSY, you press a button to enable a callback. User A is free to continue work or make other calls. What this meant is that when both phones became free, phone A would ring, on answer it would call phone B

thankyou both very much for your swift responses and helpful insight... While my knowledge of administrating Asterisk is fairly decent, i must say my knowledgebase and ability in troubleshooting it is fairly lousy... all these wonderful suggestions you have had about turning this log on here, etc sounds great, but i don't know where to begin on that! how do you recommend i turn these on or

Does anyone know of any startups using Asterisk? What about established companies? Ones that are hiring would be nice.... :) Doug.

Hi, I explain what I want to do.. All the operators share their phones. The number of the operator isn't constant, so it's possible that two operators share all the phones. They need to move all around, so they pick up the first phone they find. If there are only few operator is very annoying for them to ear the other phones ringing while they are at the phone! So I'dd like to limit

Is there a way to specify multiple email addresses in voicemail.conf for a specific user? I seem to remember that it was possible, but can't remember the character to separate the email addresses. (I tried '&', but that didn't work...) later, PaulH

Can anyone recommend a good voip provider? Thanks

Hi there, I am looking to buy an Asterisk Appliance or Box for my organization and was hoping to ask for recommendations. My ideal box is a small device in size like Digium's AA50 Asterisk Appliance ( http://www.digium.com/en/products/appliance/ ) but will still have these technical features : -> Run Linux obviously -> Run a fullly configurable distro of Asterisk (not embedded) -> Can

Hi List, I've had some issues with some VoIP providers where either: 1 - There is massive PDD but finally the call goes through 2 - There is massive PDD but the call gets rejected anyways I was wondering if there was a way to automatically detect such behaviors when it happens (maybe with a script or something) so I can take the faulty providers out of the routing and maybe automatically

A call comes in and goes into the queue, the queue dials a sip channel using a macro. The macro plays a set of options to the callee and if the callee presses 3 it sets MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE and the macro ends. For some reason the caller goes back into the queue rather than continueing on in the dial plan. Why is this, i could have sworn in 1.2 if i set MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE that the

Telstra (Australian Telco) has recently introduced a feature to allow the sending of SMS direct to fixed analogue lines, with an appropriate handset. As best as I can figure out, this appears to use CID type signalling, or at least on a line that otherwise has no CID on it, CID is sent, but with a standard modem I can only receive the date, time, and phone number (eg normal CID info). After that

Does anyone know of a way to specify what extension is dialed when 0 is pressed in the voicemail system. I have a situation where there is more than one secretary and they want the 0 to redirect to the appropriate secretary for the two groups of people. So an example would be: 555-1234 -> voicemail -> Secretary 1 555-1235 -> voicemail -> Secretary 2 Any help would be greatly
