I indeed ran into parkandannounce, It seems to be what I want, unfortunately I know nothing about asterisk and even though I downloaded th book I am super lost. I am digging through docs right now, and it seems that you can extend asterisk in all sorts of ways, so I'm thinking hacking into
features.c is probably a poor choice considering that the conf files seem to be able to do all sorts of things. I guess my biggest problem ATM is figuring out if / how I can tell my SIP phones to display a custom string on their display.
<br><br>I apologize if this is too basic for this list, just let me know and I can move the discussion to Users, I just assumed that since source code changes are involved it may belong here. The thing is I am just a perl programmer who can hack a little C. one of the other guys here does the phones but he just had surgery and is out and all doped up. So its up to me to get this ball rolling.

I would also look at . ParkAndAnnounce.</span></font></p>

call parking to display park extension onthe handset display</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi,<br>
<br>
Currently our Asterisk set up will 'say' back the parking location of a parked
call. I'd like to change this behavior to instead display text on the handset's
display. My first instinct was to hack an execl() call to call sipsak and relay
the message to the phone, unfortunately, this approach needs the IP address of
the phone which doesn't seem to be accessible from ast_park_call(). <br>
<br>
My next idea was to use the ast_sendtext function I came accross in channels.c
however that was also not fruitful.<br>
<br>
I'd like to ask anyone here if they know how I can display a custom string in
the phone's display. I know it wont always works, but as long as it works with
our handsets i'm fine with it. </span></font></p>
