I'm still not sure how to provide services that interact one phone with

Aw crap. I completly forgot about call pickup. Good point. If you have a
call come into one of your many asterisk boxes that rings ext 101, how can
you at ext 102 pickup that call if going SER->Asterisk? Yes, you can forward
the *8 to asterisk, but who knows which asterisk box will get that *8?



Perhaps the app_intercept patch would work better? It is a lot less of a kludge and more flexible than the *8 that is in Asterisk.


Oh right.. I remember seeing that.. yeah that looked a whole lot more elegant than *8. Why isn't it in HEAD?

This app is an external verison of what *8 does for
Zap channels.


set a var called INTERCEPT_TAG before you dial somewhere
and another channel can execute Intercept(xyz) to take
the unanswered call.

[Synopsis]:
Intercept an unaswered Call.

[Description]:
Intercept([<Channel Name>|<varmatch>|auto])

Intercept an unanswered channel:
A) who's name begins with <Channel Name>
B) Containing the variable INTERCEPT_TAG matching <varmatch>
C) The first encountered unanswered channel if 'auto' was specified.

Nice..
