If I understand your situation correctly, its possible that the issue you're facing has more to do with how the information in the call files are processed than perhaps how PRIs and SIP channels are handled in asterisk[1]. Perhaps you could try creating a call file which first initiates the call out the PRI first and then connects the answered line to a point in the dialplan where the announcements are played? Something like: ---8<--- Channel: Zap/g1/<number-to-call> MaxRetries: 0 RetryTime: 60 WaitTime: 90 Context: outbound-announcement Extension: s Priority: 1 --->8--- Hope that helps in some way. Gerald [1] In my simple setup whereby I have a Cisco 7960 registered on an Asterisk box with PRI lines connected, the Cisco phone never says "connected" until the far end answers... _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-dev mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-dev
