Hi,
Thanks to Matt and Steve for replying to my post :-) . Steve, I would
really
like to know more about your code like how it exactly works and how
resource
(cpu and memory) intensive it is.

Matt, following are the details you asked for:
I want my system to detect atleast 80% of the answering machines and
that
too within 1-3 seconds, just like dialogic boards.
Otherwise there won't be much reason to replace the existing predictive
dialer system with Asterisk.
We're going to have 24 to 48 lines initially and it'll definitely be T1.
We've not yet finalised which cards (Digium, Sangoma or if possible
Dialogic) to use.
Also, we'll be writing our own Predictive dialer application which will
talk
to Asterisk using its Manger API interface.

I would be really grateful if you could guide me on the above and also
throw
some light on the following:
- Does Asterisk support the Dialogic D/480JCT-2T1 board (That's what our
current system is using) ?
- Which is the best T1 card for use with Asterisk?
