Howdy Razza and Stefan, thanks for replying....

Here is my call file

=======================
# This is a sample file that can be dumped in
#/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing
# to generate a call.  Obviously, you MUST specify at least a channel in
# the same format as you would for the "Dial" application.  Only one
# channel name is permitted.

Channel: Zap/g4/0117265559

# You may also specify a wait time (default is 45 seconds) for how long
# to wait for the channel to be answered, a retry time (default is 5 
# mins) for how soon to retry this call, and a maximum number of retries
# (default is 0) for how many times to retry this call.

MaxRetries: 0
RetryTime: 60
WaitTime: 15

# Once the call is answered, you must provide either an application/data
# combination, or a context/extension/priority in which to start the 
# PBX.

Context: ext-local
Extension: 200
Priority: 1
=========================

>From what I have read so far, this should work, but obviously something
is wrong somewhere. I understand the following, correct me if I am wrong
:

In the above example, "Context: ext-local" : 
* will look in extensions.conf for this context, but I do not have it
specified there. This context is specified in
extensions_additional.conf.
However, I do have the "#include extensions_additional.conf" in
extensions.conf, so it should pick it up right ?
In any event, I have referenced another context which DOES exist in
extensions.conf but I still get the same result.

Here is how this context is specified in extensions_additional.conf :

[ext-local]
exten => 200,1,Macro(exten-vm,200,200)
exten => 201,1,Macro(exten-vm,201,201)
exten => 202,1,Macro(exten-vm,chris at pixcel.co.za,202)

Also, I notice that although the call is not being made, and I have
specified 0 retries in the call file, my log file keeps getting
cluttered with these entries following me setting "sip debug" on via *`s
CLI :

Destroying call 'ED3D2AE8-1DD1-11B2-AC8B-860A22D62D71 at 192.168.204.10'
=================================================

So it appears that it`s destroying the call, and then retrying it
again...there are no other active lines in use on this box yet.

My permissions on /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing are as follows :
drwx------    2 asterisk asterisk     4096 Mar 17 11:47 outgoing


Still searching google, wiki archives but nothing found yet....

Any ideas...?
