[asterisk-gui] AgentcallbackLogin in *1.6

[Ron Byer]

Greetings list,

I was wondering if anyone out there is using asterisk 1.6 with the 
asterisk-gui, and, if so, what is the status of the Agent Login 
functionality, given
that the AgentCallBackLogin (ACBL) function was deprecated in 1.4, and 
{I believe} removed completely in 1.6.

If that's true, then I would expect that the ACBL function is broken ? 
(as defined on panel Queues/Agent Login Settings/Second extension)

I am running on 1.4 presently, and don't have any immediate plans to go 
to 1.6, but I'm also not interested in painting myself into a corner. I 
have seen some "replacement" functionality that performs a similar, but 
not identical, function as ACBL, but would require changes in the 
asterisk-gui in terms of the code that is generated.

We are already making a modest change to the asterisk-gui in the main 
Queues panel to support a Overall Queue timeout facility (as defined for 
the Queue() function)  to enable a max time for call to sit on the queue 
before timing out and returning to the dial plan, potentially to be put 
on a different queue, or to be sent to VM, etc.  This was a bare minimum 
requirement to make the queues/agents as defined by the asterisk-gui 
functional, IMO.

Any info on Asterisk-gui, Asterisk 1.6, and Agent processing would be 
appreciate,

TIA

Ron
