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

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

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

I am trying to send 'codes' over an isdn2 link - such as *#24# - to activate call forwarding. But it doesn't work. I have tried sending it as a straight dial, and also as a DTMF string...but no luck... I spoke to a telco tech and he said I had to send a facility code....huh? Anyone with any ideas on this one? 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

I have been discussing an asterisk solution with a company that has a custom written dialogic based solution. The issue is that their dialogic solution can read callerid from incoming calls, even if the callerid is blocked. I have read before that Asterisk can do this, and they want me to make sure that their new system will be able to do this. A quick poke around inside the zaptel source code

I need to carry a variable over into the 'h' priority - so I can go back and clean up DB entries in a mysql database (time of call and so on) I tried using UNIQUEID but it seems that 'h' generates a new one. Anyone have any ideas? What can I use to carry a variable over into 'h'?? later, PaulH

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

As of late, I keep seeing a very odd error message in Asterisk and regardless of how much debugging or verbose I set I can't get more detailed info to find out what exactly is causing the error. It's every few seconds and in no regular pattern either. Jun 23 05:24:17 NOTICE[29057] chan_sip.c: SIP: Received packet with bad UDP checksum Jun 23 05:24:18 NOTICE[29057] chan_sip.c: SIP:

When agent tries to transfer a phone call (*2 - att transfer) he hangs up. Why? When a phone call isn't from queue then att transfer works fine. In features conf I have *1 for recording, *2 for att transfer and #1 for blind. In queue blind transfer works. For disconnect I have #0. I guess that * is somewhere defined as for hang-up the call, but where? I can't find it anywhere. Any help

Just wondering what web GUI people like for asterisk. I installed asterisk from source and I was looking at possibly installing web GUI for system management. So far freepbx.org looks promising anybody else have any suggestions.

Hi Which is the best interface card to connect PSTN line with Asterisk. Can somebody please help. My intention is to route the incoming PSTN calls to internal IP Phones through Asterisk and Vice versa. The Asterisk is in LAN and is reachable from all the IP phones in the LAN.

Wondering if anyone on here can help with a niggling issue: One of our extensions is unable to make attended transfers at all. The phone in question is an Elmeg ip290, and works fine for direct transfers. However, on attempting to make an attended transfer, the first leg succeeds (the inbound call is placed on hold and gets MoH, the Elmeg user announces the call to the target extension), but upon

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

Is there a way for Asterisk to generate anonymous SIP calls? I have tried putting "" in the fromuser field, but that didn't seem to work. I have been asked by a Telco to provide SIP traffic with headers that are empty before the '@' symbol. Is this even possible? PaulH
