The way to call 5000 numbers is to call one number, really well. Then you put it in a loop. You need to run a lab for long enough that you have the bugs worked out, before you subject real people to problems. With asterisk you can always tell the real-time status of a call, even if you initiate from a call file. Perhaps you would enjoy reading up on Local channels. Some people prefer to initiate calls from AMI. I tried it and didn't like it. But because most of us have been annoyed by an autodialer in our lives, even if we ourselves have made autodialers in the past, this is probably about the limit of the help you're going to get, unless you ask a more specific question that shows you've been trying to learn this hands-on and you've gotten stuck on a particular problem. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
