Is there a way to roll this back or is there a patch to get Zaptel to compile? I have a link to the modules using 'ln -s /lib/modules/uname -r/build linux-2.6" so that I did not have to specifiy the kernel version directly. I successfly compiled zaptel 1.2.1 on Linux 2.6. Perhaps when you upgraded the kernel you did not install the corresponding kernel-source rpm? Karl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Free Software: "You don't pay back, you pay forward." -- Robert A.

[Asterisk-Users] Action on phone pickup
How do I get asterisk to do something when I pick up a phone? For instance, I've got a regular pots phone hooked up to a zaptel interface, and I want it to vocalize "hello" when I pick up the phone and then give me a dial tone, wait for digits, make a call, etc. I tried the 's' extension in extensions.conf and setting 'immediate' to "yes' in zapata.conf and that didn't seem to work. (Not to mention I don't know how to get dial tone and dialing behavior back after an application executes.) Anybody got a clue they can slap me with? Thanks.

Then, you need to associate your new context in extentionss.conf with the channel your phone uses. Anyhow, I think this will work with a zapta interface and a plain old telephone. I don't know if the fancy network phones try to contact asterisk/anybody when the receiver is picked up. Karl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Free Software: "You don't pay back, you pay forward." -- Robert A.

[Asterisk-Users] Interrupting ring to go to voicemail pickup -- How to ring after Answer()?
Hi, I've successfully used the 'd' flag in Dial() so that when I dial into my phone system from out there in the PSTN network I can press the 2 key while the phone is ringing to listen to my voicemail. It seems that one issue is that the public providers do not deliver DTMF, or anything, until the phone is answered. This is for security reasons and sounds like a good idea to me. So, the extension must first answer the phone. The trouble is then providing a ring tone to the calling party. I stumbled upon the solution below, which seems to work. But there are a number of things I don't understand, which makes the whole thing seem really brittle. 1) Why does this not work if you leave off the Playtones() call? I thought Dial() was supposed to automagically indicate ringing and provide the requsite sounds? 2) Why is the r flag reqired in the Dial() call? If I take it out I don't hear any ringing even though Playtones should be playing. 3) If I take the r flag out of Dial() and put a call in to Ringing() before the Playtones() (or maybe after, I forget) I don't get a ring sound when calling. 4) I thought Playtones() was supposed to play until StopPlaytones() is called. It sure stops playing when I get to voicemail, either by a timeout of the Dial() or by pressing 2. (I don't know whether it really stops if the Zaptel is answered, because I'm not in a position to test that at the moment. But I presume it will.) Asterisk 1.2.1 extensions.conf file fragment: exten => 2000,1,Answer() exten => 2000,2,Playtones(ring) exten => 2000,3,Dial(Zap/1,15,dr) exten => 2000,4,VoiceMail([EMAIL PROTECTED]) exten => 2000,104,VoiceMail([EMAIL PROTECTED]) exten => 2,1,VoiceMailMain([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I'd appreciate hearing from anybody who can clue me in on the above questions, or has any improvements or suggestions to make to the dialplan, or otherwise wishes to throw me a bone.

[Asterisk-Users] Patch zaptel.init to support debian
Hi,
Don't know if this is really right, all I know is
that Debian sarge does not have /var/lock/subsys/.
I foolishly made this patch against the zaptel 1.2
branch rather than trunk, although I did check that
the trunk has the problem. It'll probably apply
I ran it and it works for me.
Regards,
Karl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
