Yes, this is a problem I''d forsee... but ignoring that for one moment :P.... Imagine that asterisk accepts multiple registrations for a single entry in sip.conf ([myphone]) simply adding each to an internal variable: The first phone registers: WHO_I_DIAL = "sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" then joe comes along and also registers a line on his phone WHO_I_DIAL = "sip/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&sip/[EMAIL PROTECTED]" now when I execute a dial, asterisk internally replaces the occurrence of myphone with the WHO_I_DIAL variable: eg: Dial(SIP/myphone,120) becomes (internally) Dial(WHO_I_DIAL,120) In essence DIAL sees nothing different at all and doesn;t need to be changed because the internal reference SIP/myphone actually = the content of WHO_I_DIAL So what we affectively achieve is: Dial(sip/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&sip/[EMAIL PROTECTED],120) Which is what people have been saying everyone should do... but this process becomes automatic, which is a feature that people want. I'm pretty sure you'd do this with an array rather than a string, but I think it explains the theory behind it all. Of course I've ignored the issue with different configs required for different SIP devices (eg DTMFMODE=), but that artistic license ;) I may have explained it badly, so let me know Andy _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
