<div class="im">I do this with a multi-threaded AGI that authorizes credit card</div>
transactions. I create a thread to play "Please wait while..." and then<br>
process the authorization in the "foreground."<br>
<br>
By the time the prompt finishes I usually have my authorization response<br>
so the process appears instantaneous to the caller.<br></blockquote></div><br><div><br></div><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for the suggestion. I don't think it will work for me, though, because in my "other thread" I need to issue other actions to Asterisk.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Putting AGI aside, am I the only one who thinks it would be "neat" to be able to start a file playing in the dialplan and in the meantime do "other stuff"?</div><div><br></div><div>
Steve</div><div><br></div><div>PS: Kevin I will look into externalivr. Thanks for that.</div><div><br></div>
