RE: Re: Comfort and PBX/Extensions

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The main problem the Comfort guys normally talk about is Comfort's ability
to unconditionally get a line out. If lines are busy and Comfort can't pick
up a line, then security may be compromised (depending on how important
dial-out is to you). With Comfort connected to a standard line I believe it
will disconnect any call first to ensure it can dial out (IIRC???).

Electrically, it shouldn't matter at all, since there is no difference
in signaling once your past the master socket.

On the dialling side, even if a '9' prefix can't be added you can get
Asterisk to handle that.

This leaves the issue of passing through DTMF tones, which could be a
bit tricky at the Asterisk application level, since it sends a signal
to send the DTMF tones, and there are few different ways of achieving
this.

Are you taking Asterisk from the headstream and compiling it yourself?
If you are, the 1.04 was pretty good, I haven't collected the 1.05
yet, but they've been suggesting it is ready in the Dev forum.

btw, I love the AGI gateway stuff in Asterisk, I believe the
expression is 'its in the hood'.  Lovely.
