Sounds like a great project for *. Only thing I would question is listening to those first 3 seconds. If your intent is to listen for some sort of voice/data in that 3 seconds, that's a lot of sitting around and just listening to 3 seconds. Probably would want a solution that would do some sort of automatic sampling of the recordings, running another app over them to detect noise. Besides that, you just need to create a bunch of 'sample.call' files, and place them in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/ to dial the numbers. Make sure they connect to an extension tho, and not directly to an application. Heck, you could just check CDR logs to see if the calls went through, for a first "trial run" of the system. --Chris -- Chris Maj <cmaj_hat_freedomcorpse_hot_info> Pronunciation Guide: Maj == May Fingerprint: 43D6 799C F6CF F920 6623 DC85 C8A3 CFFE F0DE C146 _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
