so I tried this .......and locally on the same server, the channel variable 'VMFLAG' works great -- gets checked for direct calls, and set to 0 when sending calls through Queues.
But the power of Chan Local/ to send calls between multiple servers is ruined because now if you dial direct a Local/ext ... it won't pass that variable along ....so all calls to external channels are considered Queue calls. :-\ gotta maintain that 'information' when I dial out over IAX2 to the other peer any random ideas appreciated, -- Chris "Chris Earle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > To solve the problem of Local channels answering Queue calls, I thought > about myabe using a channel variable switch that turns on before the Queue > is called, and a check in the extension-dial to Local/ext to see if it is a > queue call and shouldn't go to voicemail, or if it's just a direct call that > should go to voicemail after a certain time. .......I think it'll work, > though I haven't tried it yet > > -- > > "Tilghman Lesher" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > On Monday 17 December 2007 12:35, Gregory Malsack wrote: > > > Can anyone tell me what might cause callers on hold in a queue to drop > > > into agents voicemail boxes? > > > > Probably you're putting "Local" channels into the queue.
