I think I have figured it out.
Check this out:
In queues.conf
member => Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
member => Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
in extensions.conf
exten => 5567,1,Queue(service)
[service_agents]
exten => steve,1,Dial(${IAXprovider}/4165551234,,M(screen))
exten => jim,1,Dial(${IAXprovider}/4165551234,,M(screen))
[macro-screen]
exten => s,1,Wait(0.2)
exten => s,n,Read(ACCEPT,${SCREENPROMPT},1) ; press any digit to accept this
call
exten => s,n,GotoIf($[${LEN{${ACCEPT}} = 1 ] ?yes:no)
exten => s,n(no),SetVar(MACRO_RESULT=BUSY)
exten => s,n,Busy()
exten => s,n(yes),Noop() ; call is accepted
I haven't debugged and tweaked it all yet, but fundamentally it seems to do
what I need.
(thanks to voip-info.org for some of this)
