[Asterisk-Users] Re: Two FXO: How to dial a number when a RING comes in?

Thanks Noah for the help, but... no go :-/

When I try this, instead of using the Zap/2 interface to ring the other 
number, Asterisk goes off hook and I hear some kind of static:

Jun 19 18:17:46 NOTICE[2186] chan_zap.c: Got event 18 (Ring Begin)...
Jun 19 18:17:47 NOTICE[2186] chan_zap.c: Got event 2 (Ring/Answered)...
Jun 19 18:17:51 NOTICE[2186] chan_zap.c: Got event 18 (Ring Begin)...

When I try this, /var/log/asterisk/messages says:

Jun 19 18:12:38 NOTICE[1660] pbx.c: Cannot find extension '100' in context 
'(null)'
Jun 19 18:12:38 WARNING[1660] pbx_config.c: Invalid priority/label 'Dial' 
at line 172

I just realized that I blindly typed the above, without realizing that the 
second parameter is missing. Regardless, since even the first test doesn't 
work... Just in case, I'd like to repeat that I don't want Asterisk to 
answer the call: I just want it to use the second FXO to ring another 
phone, at a remote location.

For reference, I went back to the original configuration that I used, but 
it picks up the line and remains silent (static noises):

------- extensions.conf ----------
[cherbourg]
exten => s,1,Dial(Zap/2/0145815059)
------- zaptel.conf -----------
fxsks=1,2
loadzone=fr
defaultzone=fr
-------- zapata.conf -----------
[channels]
;context=default
context=cherbourg
signalling=fxs_ks
usecallerid=yes
echocancel=yes
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
immediate=no
callerid="my caller id"<(123) 123-1234>
channel=>1
;context=default
context=cherbourg
signalling=fxs_ks
usecallerid=yes
echocancel=yes
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1
immediate=no
callerid="my caller id"<(123) 123-1234>
channel=>2

and just in case you're wondering if the FXO cards are correctly loaded...

=> Surely, I can't be the only one in this list who needs to set up 
Asterisk simply to ring a remote phone when a call comes in at the office. 
Anybody has a working configuration that I could use as a reference?

Thank you :-)
VD.
