Hi Benny, 29 Mar 2007 12:36:21 +0200, Benny Amorsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Indeed, this is the limitation of Asterisk which we hit most often. In theory, it isn't a big problem, because you just put Dial(SIP/foo&SIP/bar) in the dial plan. Next: someone with that solution needs to be able to join or leave queues. Ok, a bit of playing around solves that. Then you discover that it's annoying to have one phone ring while you are talking on the other, so you make call groups to handle that problem. Whoops, you need to recognize outgoing calls too, to get them in the call group as well -- but transferred calls should not be counted. Hackety-hack, fixed that one as well. After a while you end up with 10 lines of dial plan per phone. Not nice. It would be much nicer to deal with if the dial command could be told to return BUSY when just one of the devices it calls is busy. Even better would be multi-registration, of course.
That's exactly what I meant by "simpler" : maybe, you can work around single-registration but it seems to me that things would be much more natural with multi-registration : it's up to your hardphone to offer convenient and flexible behaviour in multi-registration : return BUSY when it has to, allow per-registration call forwarding or logout, MWI, ... Snom phones support multline registration. If Asterisk could also support it ... Cheers
