[Asterisk-Users] Re: Two FXO: How to dial a number when a RING comes in?

No problem. I've decided to dump the rPath PoundKey linux distro because it 
was still using Asterisk 1.2.5 and it was pointless to try to solve this 
issue using older versions. Incidently, at least two people tried to do 
what I'd like to do... but failed.

I'm beginning to think no one at Asterisk ever had the idea that maybe 
someone would want to use Asterisk just as a simple bridget between two 
POTS lines, with no IVR...

I'll finish installing Asterisk tomorrow (got an error when compiling 
Zaptel on Fedora 5, but found the probable reason why on the web forum). 
Once it's up and running, I'll go through the tests, including setting up 
an SIP softphone on a Windows host and trying to call out or be called in 
through both FXO cards.

In the mean time, the config files are really basic:

------------- FILES ---------------------

ZAPTEL.CONF
fxsks=1,2
loadzone=fr
defaultzone=fr

ZAPATA.CONF
[channels]
context=cherbourg
signalling=fxs_ks
usecallerid=yes
echocancel=yes
channel=>1,2

EXTENSIONS.CONF
[general]
static=yes
writeprotect=no
autofallthrough=yes
clearglobalvars=no
priorityjumping=no

[globals]
TRUNK=Zap/2                                     ; Trunk interface

[cherbourg]
;If RING on Zap/1, just dial remote through through Zap/2
exten => s,1,NoOp(Before Dialing out through ${TRUNK})
exten => s,n,Dial(${TRUNK}/01XXXXXX)
exten => s,n,NoOp(After Dialing out through ${TRUNK})

------------- FILES ---------------------

Your help is much appreciated :-)
