Don't forget the other 'fun' issues related to auto-dialing with .call files (or AMI originate): Detecting and handling fax machines Figuring out whether a 'failed' call is a no answer or an invalid phone number (Yes, this is a tricky one, especially when using PRI) Getting correct CDR info back into the host system, if this is a requirement Establishing the calls is the easy part. Figuring out exactly what transpires AFTER the calls are originated is the true challenge. -MC _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
