I have asterisk 1.4.11 running nicely with a few softphones and a spa-3102 interface to the pstn and the pots phones in the house. (thanks to Tony Hebert for help with getting the spa working) Now I have voicemail boxes for each family member even though the family only hears (normally) incoming calls on the pots phones. Here are the questions (reference to online documentation would be great): 1) How do I detect messages in the mailboxes and indicate it on the pots phones, audibly? Either a distinctive "stutter" for each mailbox, or a 'playbck("Terry has new mail") kind of thing when the person picks up one of the pots phones. ==> mailbox context within your sip.conf should take of it...... i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED] should do the job http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+sip+mailbox 2) Incoming callers are presented with an IVR to allow them to choose who they wish to talk to/leave a message for. Since incoming calls are usually received on one of the pots phones (not separate extensions/sip-phones) i'd like to have distinctive ringing depending on who the call is targeted for. The Spa-3102 appears to allow distictive ringing for up to eight different callers, not call recipients. Does anyone familiar with the spa-3102 or 3000 haveany suggestions on how to make the pots phones ring distinctively for each call recipient? I'm thinking of kludging it, by putting a different callerid in before dialing the spa, so that it will ring a different ring for each family member. Not very elegant but it should work... any better ideas? ==> hmmm..good question.... 3) I'm blind, so callerid display units are useless to me. Would it be possible to have asterisk vocalize the incoming callerid (number or name) when I pick up the phone, before I actually connect to the incoming call? giving me the choice to connect or ignore it? or maybe transfer it to a torment extension or something? ==> A number of ways to deal with this one....you could use PrivacyManager A good example to work from can be found here http://www.asteriskextras.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=2 I can see some possible ways of doing these things, but I'm sure there are people who have done these or similar already, so thought I'd ask. Please forgive me if these questions are out of line for this list. thanks in advance for any suggestions/ideas, --terry --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
