Ronald, I've been experimenting with something similar. You might want to check this out: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+auto-dial+out+deliver+message
What kind of trunks do you have for your outbound calls? (BRI/PRI/analog POTS/SIP/IAX etc.) I'm using PRI and it works very well - the dialplan doesn't execute the message playback until after the call has been answered. I don't know of any analog lines that can do that. (However, there is app_amd.c that tries to detect an answering machine vs. human answer which might suffice for dialing on analog lines.) BTW, the wiki has some nice dialplan examples that I pasted right into my extensions.conf file and I was working in no time. Please let us know if this helps. -MC -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ronald Wiplinger Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 5:45 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [Asterisk-Users] How to start a playback after the called partypicks up? 1. I want to call somebody and, as soon (and not before) a playback should be played. How can I do that? 2. How can I accept dtmf tones with such calls? Example: System calls all staff and ask them a question. The staff will answer with a digit! The playback should start when the staff picks up. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
