Fix the database! Anything else is a band-aid. What DBM? How many rows? What indexes? How long does it take to execute your query from a shell? > we want to play some tune while the caller is waiting. You can create a separate thread in your AGI to play the "Please wait while..." while you do your database stuff. I did this several years ago with an AGI written in C to process a credit card authorization request and response -- but I was only trying to hide a task that took a second or two. The "customer experience" was that the authorization was instantaneous. -- Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Edwards sedwa...@sedwards.com Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000 -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
