[asterisk-users] Passing a variable from one Asterisk box toanother

[Jesus Mogollon]

Hi Craig

   I've been developing a Recording Server app (which I will be giving back
to the community) and one of the requirements is for the recording to be
offloaded to several machines. Because of the filename is being set prior to
the recording, I need to pass this variable to the slave server. I'm using
1.2.13 (heavily patched) and I came across your email. Any chance of getting
your port? Thanks for your help...
