IIRC, you'll want to look at 'hint' extensions, and possibly subscriptions to get status updates

Your are right, I dont have to invent the wheel again, and I'm getting cleverer by looking at other peoples code.
 
But this does not solve my problems, I have worked in the PABX business as a software developer for about 8 years, and coming to * is not all that easy.
 
For instance, * does not give you very good information of the state of extensions (like we are used to in the "old-fashioned" PABX business), or maybe I'm not good at finding the information.
 
I'm trying to port an existing Windows application to *, its a dialer, used to dial and se information about received calls.
 
I know how to dial new calls, by using ORIGINATE on the AMI.
I can receive some status information via the AMI, but consider this example:
 
I receive a call, which I accept. I get an event from the AMI, that the call is now in the UP state.
I receive another call, I get en event from the AMI, that the new call is in the RINGING state.
 
So far, so good.
 
I now answer the other call (for instance by the line button on my phone).
Both calls are now in the UP state, who am I talking to?
 
This, and many other questions, are currently making me even more thin haired than normal :-)

So how about inventing a car? The auto industry is much more profitable.

The point; there is no point in reinventing the wheel, why are you
writing this from scratch?
