Hi all!

Is anyone using the $subject setup?

What I would like to do the following setup:
1. OXE is setup for receiving calls, handling Agents
2. Asterisk as external IVR on extension 9xxx connected with ISDN (Q.931) PRI

The incoming calling route:
1. OXE handles incoming calls, answer
2. Transfer to extension 9xxx
3. Asterisk answer (using one channel)
4. IVR is handling calls
5. If needed IVR transfer back to specified Pilot in OXE with Dial
(using two channels)
6. Asterisk hangup (free both channels)
7. OXE connect the PSTN incoming line with Pilot as extension transfer does

I've talked with support person at Alcatel and he said that Q.931
cannot handle this situation because after calls "leave" OXE it does
not know anything so I cannot hangup in Asterisk and call will use two
channel. Is it right? He said that ABCF2 or Q.SIG is able handling
this situation because Q.SIG is an extension to Q.931. I take some
search on topic and find out that Asterisk's Q.SIG not fully
implemented. Is Asterisk implementation enough for this kind of setup?

I am using Asterisk 1.6.0.3-rc1 with dahdi-*-2.1.0 on Ubuntu Server 8.10.

Thanks,
Zsolt
