Is this an asterisk problem or a soft phone problem?  If asterisk, any 
ideas on how to fix it?

What kind of PSTN interfaces are you using?  I'm not sure from the
description: are you seeing the problem of both lines, or only the
second line?  Do you get the same kind of results when using a SIP
softphone?

I'll be posting new binaries to sourceforge this weekend, because there
have been some library changes related to jitter, but I haven't heard or
seen anything as drastic as you describe.

BTW what version of asterisk?

- End Original Message-

Looking back at this, I realized I gave very little information.  I am
using an X101P card to connect to the PSTN.  I have tried connecting
asterisk to my land line and calling to/from my cell phone and 2nd land
line, changed to the second land line and called to/from my cell phone
and my 1st land line.

I have not tried one of the SIP softphones yet but will do so this
weekend.

I downloaded and compiled the latest asterisk from cvs two weeks ago and
have done no updates since.  I will check the exact version when I get
home.

I suspect it is a problem with my laptop as opposed to the software as I
have found that it has started to ding repeatedly when connecting to the
IAXPhone test line.  This dinging happens on my end and goes away as
soon as I hit the mute button.  It does not seem to be sent out across
the network as if I go to the echo test and then unmute and remute there
I do not hear any dings come back and usually there is at least a slight
delay in the echo.

I'll keep trying to resolve this and will try it on my desktop machine
(booted from RH9 in to Win2k) to try it out.  I'll also try my wife's
laptop and the old laptop to see if they do the same thing.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] x100p / Answer- Flash - Dial

Title: Message



Dan,
 This will 
probably not work. Once Asterisk tells the Panasonic PBX to transfer the 
call, the call will no longer go through the extension the Asterisk PBX is 
attached to. It seems the only solution to this (doing it the way you are) 
is to have two zaptel cards in the Asterisk PBX, attache them to two extensions 
of the Panasonic PBX and the calls come in one extension and then are sent out 
the other KEEPING BOTH BUSY as long as the call is in progress. As Sam 
said, you will really need to have an intelligent connection to the Panasonic 
PBX to do this on much more than a single call at a time 
basis.

Disclaimer: I am 
an Asterisk Newbie, though I have been following it for several years, my hands 
on experience is abouta week old.

  Even 
  if you could get that to work properly, which I dont know... the callprogress 
  detection is horrible; if you want to do that reliably you need a T1,ISDN or 
  IPinterface to the switch (something that actually provides proper call 
  progress)

Answer- Flash - Dial

I have an X100P connected to an extension of 
aPanasonic PBX.When a call from the PSTN comes in,it is 
routed directly to theextension where the x100p is .I 
want* to answer the call, play amessage and then transfer the 
call to another extension via the Zap channel where the call was received (I 
need to flash the zap channel) . If this extension doesn't answer I want 
then todialan IAX channel.
The problem is that when I do a Flash on 
thezap channel, and then try to dial a new extensionvia that zap 
channel I get the following error "can't createzap 
channel".

If I do a 
SendDTMF()thecalldoes get transfer to the new 
extension but then * gets out of the callloop and don't know it is 
answered or not by the new extension.

AmI missing something? Why am I getting 
the "can't creatza channel"

Thanksin advance.

Dan
