[Asterisk-Users] callprogress and queues

[Daniel Daley]

Hi,

Would anyone happen to have experience with the callprogress option?  
What I'm trying to do is use a couple normal POTS lines in a queue  
setup where it will call the queue members to pass the call to them.  
Of course the problem I'm running into is that under normal  
conditions the lines register as answered immediately and the caller  
gets transferred to the ringing line which may or may not get picked  
up. I figured I'd give callprogress a try just to see if it might  
work and what happens now is the console displays "Ringing" while the  
call is being made but once the queue member picks up it never  
connects the call. Normally I would just think that the callprogress  
feature wasn't able to detect the pickup, but the console quits  
displaying the "Ringing" status. Wouldn't that mean that it knows  
it's been picked up? Currently I use a T1 for the outgoing calls and  
it works perfectly but we'd really like to transition to use some of  
our normal  POTS lines as well.

Thanks for any advice you might have,
