Lloyd, I've done some work with the manager API. The code to originate calls using that interface is pretty easy if you're familiar with just about any modern language like Python, Perl, PHP or another language (even if it doesn't begin with a 'p'). I had some Python code that I used as a sandbox for playing with the API, it's just a matter of setting up a TCP connection to the box and sending a few lines of text.
Another method is 'call files'. That's in quotes because it's what you have to search on the wiki or google since I have no experience with them. I know it's one way of starting calls. I think I remember seeing that you should stagger them by a few seconds and basically, you just write a small text file into a specific directory and Asterisk will see them and then start calls and run logic at a particular extension in the dialplan. This is probably the most straight forward way of doing it for a beginner since you can test it with vi and the cp command. If you check the wiki for 'manager api' and 'call file' you should see lots of info with examples. If it's not something you're comfortable doing yourself in any case, post to the biz list and there are dozens of people on that list that could do it for a reasonable fee in a pretty short amount of time. Have fun with it, Dave On 8/17/06, Aloysius Thevarajah Lloyd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
