(a) not quite true that they have to share the same company directory -- the directory command takes a voicemail context so you put the staff names/voicemail accounts into separate voicemail contexts and thus keep the company directories separate; (b) call parking is a problem -- the standard call parking mechanism cannot be partitioned into different groups/contexts. There are replacements for the call parking mechanism that allows one to have separate independent parking lots but I have not tried any of them. The other approach is to use some form of server virtualisation such as OpenVZ and to run a separate independent copy of Asterisk for each company (in a separate virtual server). The downside is the additional complexity of setting up the virtual servers -- the upside is that not only can you provide call parking to each company, you can even provide tools such as the AsteriskGUI or FreePBX to each company so they can manage their own configuration without seeing the other companies' dialplans. -- George Pajari (dCAP), netVOICE communications 604 484 VOIP(8647) x102 www.netvoice.ca www.ip-centrex.ca www.ip-pbx.ca www.vpas.ca www.digium.ca www.grandstream.ca www.sipura.ca www.snom.ca Open Source VoIP/Telephony Specialists 1 877 NET VOIP (638 8647 x102) _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
