That is highly dependent on when you attempt to get the value. The 
MEMBERINTERFACE variable is set once a member has answered the call, so if you 
are running your AGI before that, then MEMBERINTERFACE will be empty. One option 
you have is to pass the name of an AGI script as the sixth argument to Queue(). 
This AGI will run between when the member answers the call and when the call is 
bridged. At that point, the MEMBERINTERFACE variable will be populated with the 
correct string.
