Read the relevant data from a global varaible or from the database in the dialplan. You can set db entries and/or global variables in various ways. 4) Use a condional dialplan. e.g GotoIfTime or other uses of GotoIf . In fact, GotoIfTime seems to be the exact "switch flipper" you need. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +972-50-7952406 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xorcom.com iax:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/tzafrir _______________________________________________ Sign up now for AstriCon 2007!
