The resolution I came up with for my offering: I was going through the script this afternoon, and have a couple of questions: 1. Why use ">" instead of "=" to compare the extension with "SIP"? exten => s,n,Gotoif($["${EXTEN}" > "SIP"]?start) 2. According to www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Wait, Wait only takes one parameter, while WaitExten() can take "m", which plays music on hold: Is the wiki out of date and you are using a more recent version of Asterisk than the 1.4 I have? exten => s,n,Wait(9,m) Thank you. #1 is "Lazy notation" to say ${EXTEN} starts with SIP (as opposed to Local or DAHDI) #2 Might just be a typo on my part. I frequently switch usage between Wait() and WaitExten(). -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
