From there you can drop a sample call in the outgoing queue and then answer the line long enough to hang it up. This should make your outgoing call be about 1 second long, and allow you positive knowledge that the asterisk system received and acknowledged your call. The sample.call file can call you back then and drop you in a context where you can access anything you are interested in.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Any dialing tricks...
Hey Kim! I used to run that scam myself! You go! Back in the day, actually, I had our legacy lucent merlin phone system wired up to a modem on a webserver which could config it And with some voicemail tricks and the like, it was possible for me to visit a little WAP site on my phone, and have it dial the number and bridge the call to me In asterisk it would be a lot more graceful You could build a little script to look for a two-way message from you and use the outbound call spool to set up a call Matt Hardeman PaperSoft -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kim C.
