[asterisk-users] Nokia E60/61/70 and SIP

2006-08-23 Thread El Flynn

Hi list,

Just wondering -- has anyone used the SIP phone feature on the Nokia E60/61/70 
phones? We're trying to see if this would be an OK phone to get for the company, 
particularly since we're already running Asterisk.


Not asking for a review of the phone, but rather how well the built-in SIP 
client works.

Thanks,

Re: [asterisk-users] Challenging problem regarding CallerID in TDM 04B (Trying to solve since 8 days)

   Hi,

Here I am posting my problem. I am getting this problem since 8 days. I have studied documentation and looked previous posts in forums. But, I am unable to solve this problem. Please show me a solution. I am from India. 


We have installed Asterisk with Digium 04B card (4 FXO ports). Now, I  have connected my 
PSTN line directly to first port. I am making outgoing  calls and receiving incoming 
calls successfully through my Asterisk. The  problem is: When I am receiving a call from 
outside (PSTN-Eg. Mobile), I am not  getting the callerid number of the caller and 
getting callerid as Asterisk in my  softphones (XLite).


SNIP

When somebody calls from outside (Eg: mobile), I am getting this below error 
message on Asterisk console:

Error Message:
Aug  17 19:45:41 ERROR[10449]: callerid.c:276  callerid_feed: fsk_serie made mylen 
 0 (-8)

failed: Success
Aug  17 19:45:41 WARNING[10449]: chan_zap.c:6131  ss_thread: CallerID returned 
with error on channel  'Zap/1-1'

Please tell me the solution. Looking forward to your kind response. 



Do you actually _HAVE_ caller ID on that PSTN line?

It looks like there might be something to do with your php.ini settings. The LMS

Barry,

Could you also check and make sure that PHP is running properly on the server? 
Perhaps PHP is trying to load some extension, but can't find where the extension

Hi all,

I have a Sangoma A200 card with hardware echo cancellation. The card has 12
ports (10 of which are active; All FXO). Twice on this particular card I've
seen all ports simply stop receiving incoming calls. There is no other
indication of this, however. I am able to place outgoing calls just fine,
and call other extensions without issue. When someone calls in, the line
just rings and rings, with no indication that the card even sees the calls.
I'm not even sure where to begin looking into this. Could anyone give me
some pointers as to what I might need to be looking for?



Did this just happen, e.g. was your system working fine before? Does it happen 
randomly, or have you seen any indication of a pattern of behavior?


Perhaps if you could post your zaptel/zapata configs, and maybe some CLI output 
when this happens, it would be easier for us to help you out.


We've got a client who's been using an A200 with 24 ports over the past 7 
months, without any problems like what you mentioned.

Re: [asterisk-users] DTMF detection and Sangoma cards

2006-07-12 Thread El Flynn

Christopher Snell wrote:

Hi,

I posted earlier about Call parking breaks suddenly.  I believe that
I have narrowed this down to a problem with DTMF detection and the
Sangoma A101 card that we use.

Earlier, DTMF detection was not working at all.  Then, I set
'relaxdtmf=yes' in zapata.conf and it works...sort of.  When I call
into the PBX from a digital desk phone, Asterisk is able to detect the
agent's DTMF and parks the call as requested.   However, if I dial in
from my cell phone, the agent's DTMF is not detected and the caller
(me) hears the DTMF on the lines.

Does anybody have any ideas?



We've been running a Sangoma A104 at a client site for the past 12 months 
without any DTMF issues whatsoever, neither from the inbound nor the outbound 
side. That unit's connected to a multitude of analog and IP phones, as well as a 
large legacy PABX behind the * box. Some numbers on the PRIs are provisioned to 
hit a lengthy IVR menu tree, so I know the DTMF works.


Bear in mind it's running much older versions of Asterisk, Zaptel and libpri.

Are you only having this problem for call parking? Any issues when the caller is 
navigating an IVR?

When you say the card just worked after it apparently went dead, did you

While I don't use the cards anymore, I think it's a bit harsh to immediately 
point the blame to the card. It could be that the power outage affected the PCI 
slot where your card sits.


Have you tried moving it to another slot?
Have you tried using the card on a different machine?

Do that first before immediately knocking Digium/Sangoma/whatever off.

Douglas Garstang wrote:

General question.

If you install a Digium card in an Asterisk system, and install zaptel drivers, 

do this give any benefit of echo cancellation? Our PSTN gateway is a separate
Audiocodes box, so the zaptel card wouldn't actually be connected to anything.
I'm wondering though doing this would help, in general, with echo cancellation.




I wouldn't think so, since the echo cancellation settings are in zaptel-land. So 
the call path would have to go through a zap channel before the echo canceller 
can work.

Hello -

I currently have 10 DID's coming into one Asterisk server, I seem to be

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, how about trying this:

1. In your sip.conf:

[general]
useragent=Asterisk
port=5060
context=default
tos=lowdelay
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
allow=gsm
rtptimeout=300
rtpholdtimeout=600

2. In your extensions.conf:

[default]
exten = s,1,Goto(${CALLERIDNUM},s,1)

[123456789]
exten = s,1,Answer()
exten = s,2,Playback(beep)
exten = s,3,GoTo(queue-test,s,1)


So if you get an incoming SIP call from 123456789, it enters the default 
context and is then routed to the 123456789 context.

; Maximum number of messages per folder.  If not specified, a default value

Hi,

There seems to be no solution for call progress on analog lines

Can the backgrounddetect app be used for this. I have tried but
the message still plays before I answer.
I generated 60 seconds wave file.



Some other approaches:

1. Have you tried setting callprogress=yes in zapata.conf? This will only work 
if you're in the US though, and your mileage may vary.


2. An unelegant approach without using backgrounddetect would be to set it up 
like so:

  - playback a prompt that asks user to press a key to accept the call
  - only deliver the audio payload once user has pressed a key

You could also tinker with #2 to cater for scenarios where you've hit a 
voicemailbox, e.g. after two/three loops of the first prompt just deliver the 
message anyway and hope it gets recorded in the callee's mailbox.

check your Dial command, looks like you've enabled the CALLER to transfer --

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Stability and motherboard questions with TE406P and TE410P

card?  We have had this experience across multiple motherboards.

After working with two different cards and across multiple motherboards I am
starting to lose faith on the stability of the Asterisk platform, but I know
others are having lots of success.  My boss is looking for something that
says With the TE406P, we have had zero issues on X motherboard, does
anyone have any recommendations?  Has anyone else had stability issues with
the digium 4 port cards?



Kyle,

While my reply probably doesn't help you any, I just want to say that I've been 
experiencing the same sort of problem. I've got a TE410P on a server with an 
Intel SE7210TP1-E Entry level server motherboard; we're connecting the card to 
four Rhino T1 channel banks.


I'm also experiencing the random crash issue, albeit perhaps not as frequent. 
Some symptoms:


- server hangs and is generally bogged down. Even when I'm at the console in 
front of the server typing one key on the keyboard takes 4-5 seconds to get a 
response
- random noise, echo and badness starts to appear on the phones connected to the 
channel banks. This is because something's eating up the CPU processing power 
and the server isn't able to service the 1k interrupts the zap card requires


One of the things I've had to do, as a jerry-rig type of fix is to have Asterisk 
restart every day at 3am. This has lengthened the duration in-between server 
crashes, but isn't really a good solution.


What we're going to do is to scrap the TE410 and use Sangoma's A104 card. In the 
same installation, we've got a server (same _identical_ specs as the one above) 
with one A104 -- two incoming PRIs and two outgoing to an Avaya PABX. This one 
has not crashed since it went into production last august.


This is probably just a rant, but I thought you'd like to know that you're not 
the only one struggling with the TE410 cards.


Hope you'll be able to get your setup fixed soon, good luck.

Cheers,
Flynn

You could also use Audacity, which has a bunch of filters and effects that you 
can use, like echo, equalization, high/low pass, noise filters etc.


Speaking of noise filters, I really like the one used in Goldwave. Quite useful

[Asterisk-Users] Cannot leave voicemail, Asterisk/Zaptel/libpi v1.0.9

2006-03-21 Thread El Flynn

Hi,

I'm running two boxes side by side, identical specs and setup but with differing 
dialplans. Both are on ast/zap/libpri versions 1.0.9. Both boxes share the same 
folder for voicemail, exported via NFS from another file server.


Everything was working fine for an extended period of time, until just recently 
when someone rebooted Box A. Now when I dial an extension associated with a SIP 
phone connected to Box A, upon leaving voicemail I get in the following:


-- x=0, open writing: /mnt/nfs/123/INBOX/msg0004 format: wav49, (nil)
Mar 21 17:28:18 WARNING[8576]: app.c:706 ast_play_and_record: Error creating 
writestream '/mnt/nfs/123/INBOX/msg0004', format 'wav49'
Mar 21 17:28:18 WARNING[8576]: app_voicemail.c:787 base_encode: Failed to open 
log file: /mnt/nfs/123/INBOX/msg0004.wav: No such file or directory

-- Executing Hangup(Zap/5-1, ) in new stack

Browsing through previous posts and other resources led me to believe there was 
a permissions problem on the shared folder. As an extreme measure for testing 
purposes I've chmoded 777 the /mnt/nfs directory and all its contents, but the 
same problem persists. From Box A, I can also create new files etc in that 
exported directory from the command line, so I think permissions may not be the 
issue here.


I've tried saving it in different formats - wav49, gsm, wav -- but problem still 
persists.


Even stranger, while msg0004.wav is not saved msg0004.txt _is_ created in that 
directory!


Box B can leave voicemail in the same directory without any problems, here's 
what I get when I reroute a call for extension 123 to Box B:


-- Recording the message
-- x=0, open writing: /mnt/nfs/123/INBOX/msg0004 format: wav49, 0x9fb5490
-- User hung up

Any clues as to what may be the problem here? Could it be on Box A it's coming 
up with   format: wav, (nil) while on Box B it says  format: wav49, 
0x9fb5490 ? Can anyone tell me what this might mean?


Thanks in advance,
Flynn

Well, with the Asterisk java code it's pretty much cut and dried. Take a look at 
some of the examples and you'll be surprised how quickly you can come up with a 
workable app. It's as easy as:


if (event instanceof NewChannelEvent) {
/* Change icon color from green to red */
}
else if (event instanceof HangupEvent) {
/* Change the icon color from red to green */
}

The filtering bit is kind of done for you there so you won't have to muck 
around with parsing what is thrown back at you by *.


Although you might want to download the source code and see how that parsing is 
done.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Sangoma A200 error

2006-03-10 Thread El Flynn

Mike Clark wrote:
snip


Have you called Sangoma's tech support number?

I just implemented the same card about two weeks ago and really didn't
have any installation issues using fc3 and trunk, however their 
documentation is a little on the rough side. Install info seems to be 
a little in one

file, a little in another, etc, and it assumes the reader has the same
level of skills/knowledge as the Sangoma writer.
 

If your cards are not fully populated with modules, then the placement 
of the modules does matter. Because we weren't sure of exact ordering of 
modules when we put them in place, I ended up having to configure 
channels 1-2, and 5-8 in zaptel.conf and zapata.conf. Also, we got some 
of the earliest production cards and had to upgrade the firmware from 
version 4 to version 5 for the hardware echo cancellation support.




A couple of other pointers:

1. Each A200 card will occupy 24 channels. So if you have two A200 boards, the 
first one recognized will have zap channels 1-24, and the second one will have 
25-48. This is true even if you only have one module on each card.


So if you have 2 FXO ports on each card, your zaptel.conf will look like:

fxsks=1-4
fxsks=25-28

2. If you plug in any of the remoras (the expansion boards) into an A200, you'll 
need to plug in the power supply, EVEN IF you are _not_ using any FXS modules. 
For those moving from Digium TDM400 to Sangoma, this can be tricky. Took a while 
to figure that one out.


3. For those running hotplug, you might have some issues with the A200 (as with 
the rest of the AFT cards). Make sure to disable hotplug before you load up the 
wanpipe drivers


One thing I've noted is that starting up the wanpipe drivers take about 10 
seconds or so. Kind of long compared to the wctdm drivers. However, their 
engineer has mentioned that this is due to some debug/initialize code during the 
driver load process, which will be phased out as things start to stabilize.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Maximizing audio quality

Wolfgang Borgon wrote:
A RAW file I created after converting from MP3 and WAV,  sounded raspy.   

 Does anyone have any tips for creating the  best quality voice recordings?
  


Generally you'd use a good-quality microphone for your recordings. The adage 
Garbage in = garbage out couldn't be more true in this instance. If you're 
looking for studio-quality recordings, use studio-quality equipment. Those $5 
mics won't be satisfactory :)


Then there's issues of sibilance, which isn't that apparent when you're 
recording at a higher rate, but is really pronounced when you downsample to 8k 
for the GSM files. The raspiness you encountered was probably sibilance, where 
words that have the ess sound in them are boosted due to the position of the 
microphone relative to the person being recorded.


If you're going the budget route, at least get a decent quality sound card to 
record with. Another important factor to consider is your recording location -- 
try and record in as quiet a place as you can find.


Some audio processing software (Goldwave, Audacity et al) have filters that can 
knock out background noise, alter volume, apply equalization etc. You can use 
these effects to enhance the recording. But again, if your original recording 
already sounds bad there's not much you can do to make it sound nice.

[Asterisk-Users] Difference between CDR dispositions..

2005-12-27 Thread El Flynn

Hi there,

I've got a client complaining about the dispositions in the CDR report we built 
for them:


1. User calls an extension, which rings three SIP phones in the group. Entry in 
extensions.conf:


exten = 100,1,Dial(SIP/200SIP/201SIP/202)

2. On three test calls, she dials extension 100 and makes sure no-one picks up 
any of the three phones.


3. In the CDR, two of the calls' disposition are listed as No Answer, while on 
another CDR entry disposition is listed as Busy.


Does anyone know what might cause this?

I played around a fair amount with the latency thing and could not

[Asterisk-Users] Clicks, pops and noise

2005-10-09 Thread El Flynn

Hi all,

I've got a TE410p connected via T1 to four channel banks (2 FXO and 2 FXS), no 
PRIs.

Some users are complaining that they hear clicks and pops on the FXS lines, 
generally when they pick up the phone it's noisy. This happens only after a 
while, e.g. after a fresh restart of everything, all is fine but after some time 
these noises start appearing. From what I've read on the list, this could be 
down to frame slips or some problem due to synchronization.


Since there's no incoming PRI to sync to, this means everything needs to be 
internally clocked. Could it be the internal clock source on the card has gone 
wonky? Or is something else in the server screwing up the clock signal?


Anyone else experienced this when connecting four channel banks to the TE410?

Zaptel.conf:

span=1,0,0,esf,b8zs
fxsks=1-24

span=2,0,0,esf,b8zs
fxsks=25-48

span=3,0,0,esf,b8zs
fxsls=49-72

span=4,0,0,esf,b8zs
fxsls=73-96

Re: [Asterisk-Users] SIP Callgroups

2005-09-06 Thread El Flynn

Wolfgang Pichler wrote:

Hi all,

at time i am trying to get a better idea of callgroups and pickupgroups
(especially within the SIP Channel)

A Pickupgroup is relative clear - everyone in the same pickupgroup may
pickup a call

And a callgroup does what ? - The same ?



example:

phones A, B and C are configured with callgroup=1 in sip.conf
phone D is configured with pickupgroup=1 in sip.conf

when a call comes in to A, B, C or any combination of them, phone D can pick up 
the call on their behalf.



I thought that a callgroup would act like the ZAP groups - so that you
then can dial SIP/g1 - and every SIP Client which is in the callgroup 1
does then ring - Why isn't this so - What sense does it make to define
callgroups - when you then have to specify each SIP Client in the Dial
Command to get the callgroup Working ?


You're mistaking group for callgroup. Zap example:

group=1
channel=1-24

this means when you do a Dial(Zap/g1) phones 1 to 24 would all ring. If you 
wanted to emulate the same sort of behavior for your SIP phones, you could do 
something like:


[globals]
SIPGRP1=SIP/100SIP/101SIP/102

then in your dialplan you could do a Dial(${SIPGRP1}) to ring all the sip 
phones.

Many thanks,

if you're talking about the duration of a voicemail, you could do:

grep duration msg.txt

from the command-line. each voicemail left has an accompanying text file that 
gives details about the message.


unless you're talking about something completely different...

You might want to check the other components in the chain -- tiff2ps and ps2pdf 
-- to make sure that your version of libtiff is able to create the .tif file 
properly.


My suggestion is to:

1. Just receive the fax as a TIFF file, and see if you can open that up
2. If step 1 is okay, look at tiff2ps and make sure it's converting the TIFF 
file to postscript properly. Use ghostview or something like that to look at the 
output .ps file and make sure it opens up nicely
3. If step 2 is okay, look at ps2pdf and make sure it's converting the 
postscript file properly.


We had some similar issues, ended up removing the tiff2ps and ps2pdf from the 
processing and emailing the TIFF file directly to the recipient.

Short -- yes, can be done.

We just did one install with two incoming E1s connected to ports 1 and 2 on a

In other words, can I use SPAN 1 as a timing source, then provide timing

That should do it. You'd just need to configure zaptel.conf properly. There's an

Without looking at your dialplan for the context that SIP/4791270 belongs to, 
what's most likely happening is the pauses are too short or too long. I've just 
dialed out to my cellphone to test this, and yes i do hear the DTMF when I pick 
up my cellphone.


You can create a simple test for this -- dial to your mobile phone or landline, 
pick up the call and see if the DTMF is passed.

Assuming you mean you have 30 analog POTS lines, the way to go about

For the record, 30 individual analog lines is generally inefficient  and

Some other possibilities:

1) get an E1 channel bank for the 30 analog lines, and a single T1/E1 card from 
digium


2) get two T1 channel banks for the 30 lines (split half-half I suppose) and a

Asterisk?  Is this documented someplace?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.



AMP and others of the same ilk:
Pros
- web-based
  - some apps provide a graphical approach, e.g. Flash Operator Panel
- abstracts most of the complexities into point-and-click interfaces
- easier to manage, up to a certain point

Cons
- you're forced to work within the constraints of the application
  - can't simply modify the config files
- some restrictions when you want to do complicated stuff with the dialplan
  - complex constructs hand-rolled into the dialplan may screw up the app
- certain features not included
  - some apps don't work with Zap interfaces, for example
- harder to integrate custom modules


Do-it-yourself approach:
Pros
- highest level of flexibility in implementing your * box
  - add your own custom modules
  - complex dialplan constructs
- won't have to run more services than necessary (no need for Apache etc)
- forces you to learn more about the internals

Cons
- lots of editing text files
- prone to typos
- dialplan programming can be tedious
- forces you to learn more about the internals

My 2 cents.

I don't think there's anything built-in to support VoiceXML, but you _can_ do 
something like this:


1. get a developer account on Voxeo

2. create your VXML app, and point to it appropriately on the developer account 
pages

3. connect via SIP from Asterisk to your VoiceXML app.
4. Fini

Voxeo provides facilities to call in via Free world dialup, and your hosted 
applications can be accessed via a FWD number. I've got a simple demo running on 
 our pbx and it works.

Off the top of my head..
specify a context in voicemail.conf:

1001 = 1000,George Lucas
then another context in extensions.conf
[outward-dial-by-name]
1000 = Zap/g1/5551234567  ; john smith's phone number
1001 = Zap/g1/555123  ; george's mobile phone
and finally in your dialplan (assuming you use a context called internal for 
all your internal phones..)

[internal]
; some other stuff
exten = 123,1,Directory(outward-dial-by-name|outward-dial-by-name)

This is the sort of thing that AGI is great for.  When I was first

Zip Code, then connect to weather.com, download the current weather

You could also take the concept and connect it to a third-party VoiceXML 
provider like Nuance. You can host your VoiceXML script(s) in their sandbox 
environment and send a couple of calls over via SIP through FWD. Then you could 
make the Asterisk box look like a sophisticated speechrec-enabled system with a

text to speech system, then play the resulting audio file to the user.

You could also take the concept and connect it to a third-party VoiceXML 
provider like Nuance. You can host your VoiceXML script(s) in their 
sandbox environment and send a couple of calls over via SIP through FWD. 
Then you could make the Asterisk box look like a sophisticated 
speechrec-enabled system with a reasonably nice-sounding TTS engine to 
boot :)

Ahaha.. ahem.. i think i mean Voxeo instead of Nuance.. sorry, been a while 
since I did the vxml stuff..

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Multiple Calls with Asterisk?

I'm still left wondering if Asterisk supports multiple lines
at once? If I had one land line, voip line, and asterisk setup and 10
people called my number, would all 10 people be able to speak to their
appropriate party at the same time, or would the other 9 get a busy
signal? 
If all 10 called your land line at the same time, only one will get through and 
the rest gets the busy signal. There will be variations to this, depending on if 
you've got value added stuff like call waiting etc on the landline.

Also, could this work with outgoing calls? If this DOES work,
can anyone explain how it works? 
Would what work? Ten outgoing calls at once? If that's what you mean, then the 
answer would be not likely :)

More importantly, at what point does
the analog line move to the VOIP line, and how is the connection
maintained? 
It would depend on how you've got the stuff set up. You didn't mention if the 
VoIP line was internal or incoming from a VoIP provider. Is your question 
really How does the incoming VoIP call get through to my (analog) extension or 
How does the internal VoIP call go out through my landline?

In both cases, you should check out the Wiki at 
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk for more information on how it works.

Hello all,
For those of you who've attempted to use the Dialplanner, but could not receive

We've since corrected the problem and you should be able to receive the dialplan

Guys.
I just had a weird problem. I have my Dial cmd configured with mwtWT as
parameters however, a call came in thru a zap channel and I answered on a
sip phone. I tried using # as configured on my features.conf file to
transfer the call but the transfer prompt never came in, so I asked the
person on the zap channel to do the same and voila, he did get the transfer
prompt and entered and extension, but what happended is that I was the one
that got transfered! Not him! So. Any ideas whats wrong?
The sip phone is an ata, a handytone 286 and zaptel cards.
Why cant I do the # transfer and they can but Im the one been transfered?
The T option allows the *calling* user to transfer the call, which is what 
happened to you. The t option allows the call recipient to transfer the caller 
to another extension. So to stop that from happening, remove the T option from 
the dial command.

As to why you yourself can't transfer it might have something to do with the ATA 
itself, check what dtmfmode is specified in sip.conf. From the sample sip.conf, 
it says:

dtmfmode=info   ; either RFC2833 or INFO for the BudgeTone

Unless I'm mistaken (haven't been keeping up to date with the CVS stuff) you'll

You're right in that most of the things you're asking for requires custom 
programming. All the data should already be there to get the data you want. It's 
just a matter of coming up with the application to generate said reports.

You might want to check out XC-AST, do a search on the list for that. It's a 
web-based application that should report most (if not all) of what you're 
looking for. Otherwise you'll have to roll your own.

We've got our own queue reporting app, doing stuff like what you mentioned. It 
shouldn't be too difficult, as long as you've got some means to extract the data 
from the queue log files, as well as the CDR. Of paramount importance is 
understanding what means what in the queue log file.

No, that's a service, or at least I think it is, the sales garbage obscures

What I need is a little box that diverts calls if the PBX goes down.

FYI, the topic has been discussed previously on the list, and the
problem that you're trying to address is far more difficult that
what you might think.
The issue is... how do you know when the pbx is down?
 - machine is up, asterisk is down
 - machine is up, asterisk is up but not responding 
 - machine is down hard (somewhat easier to address)

Some of the previous postings noted using a relay to transfer t1's,
pri's, etc, to a second machine; however, tripping the relay still
requires some sort of watchdog timer that would sense inactivity.
There is no code in asterisk to trigger that process today.
Dataprobe makes a range of A/B switches, some with more intelligence that you 
might be able to use in this scenario. One of their products (check out 
http://www.dataprobe.com/switch/ab_net.html) has a feature which pings a 
specific IP address, and switches over once it stops getting a response.

Some of their products are programmable too, where you can send TCP messages to 
initiate the switching process. Check out their website for more products.

Flynn
p/s I am in no way related to Dataprobe. This is just some stuff I received from 
them when asking a similar question on the list about six months ago.

so when this message is finish, it starts to play music on hold. if the

[Asterisk-Users] Vonage, broadvoice et al

2005-02-18 Thread el Flynn
Hi all,
I'm just wondering about these VoIP services -- do you have to sign up one 
account -per- client that will be using the service? I've got multiple 
extensions behind my Asterisk box, and I want to be able to allow all my staff 
to place calls via the provider.

So if I sign up for one account, will multiple users behind my Asterisk box be 
able to make calls, using that same account, at the same time? Or do these 
providers typically only allow one call to be in place at any point in time?

Thanks in advance.

it sounds like you're wanting to use asterisk's call queueing capabilities. look

did you try setting using AbsoluteTimeout in the context? e.g.

I also once had a problem where my TDM400P card thought the far end had

Setting busydetect=no and callprogress=no in zapata.conf helped a bit, although
