If * answers the call, it will be on the "loop" but with canreinvite or directrtp the media can be out of * and redirected to the final end point even if signaling goes through *.
For the trunk, you can have multiple simultaneous calls. I do not know about Mitel's licensing but with only one trunk you can have as much calls as * supports. Saludos, Juan E.

But, if I were to answer that call in * with an IVR to collect caller input to use and then transferred the call back to the Mitel to route to the endpoint, * would remain in the call. Is that a correct understanding? Also one more question, and please excuse my ignorance (I'm just a developer with pretty limited knowledge on the telephony side of things): When I talk about connecting the Mitel box and the Asterisk box together via a SIP trunk, is that trunk equal to 1 analog line, or channel or whatever, or can I make as many connections as I want on that trunk? Again, my knowledge is a bit limited, and thusfar people have been using a lot of terms interchangably with me to add to my confusion :). This only concerns me because I'm pretty sure we have to buy a license for each SIP trunk with Mitel. It would be really great if I could work out a solution like this, it will allow me to prove Asterisk's worth to my management, and open up a lot of doors for us and our internal apps. The Mitel SDK is unfortunately rather limited, but management is not in any way interested in jumping ship from Mitel to Asterisk. Personally, I say jump, I've had great experience with Asterisk, even in fairly heavy use situations. Anyone have any input on selling Asterisk to higher up's? I know there is the whole "enterprise support" aspect, but my team manages the Mitel stuff as it is anyway, and I think we'd all much rather be dealing with Asterisk/SER as the core solution. Thanks everyone for your input! Kenny -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
