Hi Tony,

So the idea here is that the parameter, which I am calling the
application with, will be dynamic. I am therefore struggling a bit with
how your solution would work in the long run. It could be a good test
though. Your Extension line in the call file (670507) will match that in
the extensions.conf, right? What I have tried is

================ Call File ========================
channel: Local/3455 at internal
Context: internal
Extension: *66
Priority: 1
================================================

Then in the extensions.con

============= extensions.conf =====================
exten => *66,1,Answer
exten => *66,2,AGI(test.agi|670507)
exten => *66,3,Hangup
================================================

This is also not an elegant solution as I have hard coded the parameter.
However, it is just for test. As you can see I am also answering the
channel here. I have exactly the same problem here. On SIP phones it
work great and on IAX (iaxy) phones it fails. I can't get the AGI script
to see the DTMF even if pushing the keys generates events in an iax2
trace. So:


============================== Conclusions ================================
IAX Phone => Dial Plan => AGI script                                    
            "Works with DTFM"
Call File => IAX Phone + AGI script                                  
                   "Fails, not DTMF communication"
Call File => IAX Phone + Extension in dial plan => AGI Script        
"Fails, not DTMF communication"
SIP => Work always
============================== Conclusions ================================

Unfortunately I am heading out for a week long Europe trip on Monday.
I'll try to play with this a bit more on Sunday and see if I can make
some progress.

Thanks for you help,
