Applications and AGI are not self-starters. They both need to be invoked from the dial plan. If you want to originate calls from outside Asterisk, you need to take a look at the manager interface which can be made to run on TCP port 5038 (it does not run by default). -Tilghman _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
