[asterisk-users] Doorphone

[Ray Wadkins]

I looked at a call queue, but it didn't seem to work the way I want.  Agents need to log into the queue to get calls, seemingly.  Of course, I only stopped on the topic for a short period.  with the meetme conference, anyone can answer the door from any phone by dialing the conference extension, just not open the door.

Hi Ray,

I can't really understand why you want to use a meetme conference? 
Why not use a call queue instead?
