Spookily, you sent your reply within just a couple of minutes of the time that I figured out your (correct) solution via further research on my own, and then just now went back to my email to post another message saying "problem solved, everybody ignore my previous messages on this topic", and saw your reply. But still, thank you for answering. Now what I don't understand is why http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+auto-dial+out has the following: Example 3 To create a call to 14109850123 on a SIP phones called bt101, here's the file you'd create in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing (whatever name is good, of course must be accessible and deletable by asterisk GNU/Linux user): Channel: SIP/bt101 MaxRetries: 1 RetryTime: 60 WaitTime: 30 # # Assuming that your outgoing call logic is kept in the # context called [outgoing] # Context: outgoing Extension: 14109850123 Priority: 1 And furthermore, since what you said is correct, I don't understand why the above (apparently incorrect) callfile _does_ work on my SIP/sipphone trunk! And in fact when I originally saw the above callfile, I found it odd that the number to dial would be in the field called "Extension:", but just chalked it up to asterisk oddness and paid no more attention to it after I found that it worked on my sipphone trunk. But anyway that's just a curiosity, since the sipphone trunk was just for testing, and my foo trunk is the one that I actually need to use, and it works now that I'm using correctly written callfiles. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
