If you're learning Asterisk right now, you might try using basic Dialplan first, so less things may go wrong. There's a dialplan function that does what you want: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+cmd+GotoIfTime As for white-listing CallerId's, you may use simple GotoIf's in the Dialplan, or you may use an AGI to consult a CallerId database (plain text file).
On the other hand, if you've got your AGI going, stick to that! -- Cosmin Prund -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Troy Ayers Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 3:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [asterisk-users] asterisk answering machine I'm learning asterisk, and decided to make myself an answering machine out of it. Seems pretty straightforward to use an agi (perl) to do what I want. What I want is: Answer the phone. check for time of the day If TOD is during the time I sleep I announce i'm sleeping & prompt caller to dial1 (or whatever) to connect to my extension & then go to voicemail if busy/una, otherwise go straight to voicemail.if no digit was pressed. If TOD is during normal waking hours or caller ID matches whitelisted numbers, just connect to my extension & then go to voicemail if busy/una. I'm nearly done, but I had a thought: before I re-invent the wheel, does anyone know if this has already been done? My searches only saw basic answering machines examples. -Troy _______________________________________________ --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 _______________________________________________ --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
