RE: [Asterisk-Users] Busy Lamp Field SIP Phone
This may not be the answer you're looking for ... but why not whip up a little program or web application for the operator's PC that shows the extension, name, busy status, new voice-mail count, etc? Or you could have it done by a consultant. In the long run, it will probably be less hassle, cheaper, and much more functional than what you're considering. And as luck would have it, I'm a consultant programmer ... (Why do I suddenly feel like Mr Haney from Green Acres?)

I need my operator to be able to see extension status for about 20 extensions and transfer via HOLD + extension button. Ive got a pair of SNOM 360s with the sidecar, but Im very disappointed with them. The buttons are cheap and rubbery like a Sipura 841, the handset cord is short and cheap, the audio quality is not good, the speaker is bad, the button layout is too busy, and Ive found it very hard to train my users how to use. Has anyone else had the same experience with the 360s? Im ready to replace them with anything. I put Polycom 501s in for everyone else and they are wonderful. Does the Cisco 7960 + 7914 work well for such an application? Keep in mind it has to show free/busy status of 20 although I guess we could get by with 14 if the 7960 + 7914 is a solid option. Im in Louisville, KY if anyone knows of a distributor or retailer that I could demo a unit from.

I thought there would already be one or eight hundred of them out there already. I was joking about doing the work for ... Um ... What's-his-name (no offense, your email is already deleted). Have you used this one or others? What's your opinion of this gentleman using this application instead of a hardware solution?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] T1 - incomplete calls
Incomplete meaning "never connected" or "connected then disconnected abruptly?" Are the calls inbound or outbound? All calls or just some calls? If just some, about what percentage are problem calls? Try setting Switchtype = 5ess, 4ess, etc. Let me know what you notice, if anything is different.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] new to Asterisk, is it possible to call two external lines and connect them using twochannels
Rob, It seems you're okay with your company incurring the cost of the call(s). If I understand your goal, you might be able to do a flash-hook-transfer to the second line. This will only use one extension from your asterisk to your PBX and when you release the line to complete the transfer, that extension is freed up -- the connection is maintained inside the PBX for the remainder of the call. (Of course, the connection to the PBX will have to be an analog line OR a digital trunk that can mimic the flash-hook capability of an analog line.)

Otherwise, there would be no-one to bill. Besides, your box is going to be the one doing the bridging. -- Tom On 7/20/05, Robert Bachan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I am just looking at using Asterisk now and the first thing I need to do is via pass two external numbers to asterisk and call out connecting the calls togther. These will be through our physical PBX connected to the asterisk server. We are essentially trying to connect two external numbers through asterisk with us incurring the cost of the calls. I've been reading on call out files and the manager API. I can see how to call an external number and bridge it to an extension. Do I have to run an application on that extension to then dial the second external number and then they both connect? Many Thanks in advance guys Rob __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
