	I've set the two options to 'strict', it is working now. One more
question, I selected the random strategy, but sometimes asterisk
randomly selects a member that is on a call, then it starts to announce
an incoming call to this member, and there are other members available.

I don't want the users to manually login in the queue, I want they join
the queue when they turn on their phone. I thought that this was the
right way of doing it, how can I do it?
