I have looked at that as a solution but haven't been able to get the dtmf to work reliably. When I dial a local call i get connected okay and can obviously connect to the second * box with out problem, the problem comes in trying to get the ${EXTEN} portion of the dial string Dial(zap/1/<my_sip_number>wwwwww${EXTEN}); to the second * box. It tends to not see the DTMF correctly for the number I want to call. When I watch this on the CLI through SSH on the second box i see the call come in and go to the correct extension where it waits for digits to dial and I get sporadic results, sometimes no digits are recognized and sometimes 2 or 3, but never all correctly. I have tried increasing, and decreasing the wait in the dial string in my home * with no luck. Any hints on how to get the 3000 and the * box to talk better? If I could get this to work through the 3000 I would be a very happy camper as it would open up some possibilities that I can't do cost effectively otherwise. I will start to route all local calls out the 3000 though for testing in the mean time. Thanks for the ideas, John M On Tuesday June 20 2006 10:16 am, Doug Crompton wrote: > Ok Now I understand.
