[asterisk-users] UNIQUEID not the same in Dialplan aspassedtoAGI

Wed Sep 9 09:49:42 CDT 2009

I'll have to set this aside for a future experiment.  I'm supposing that
both would mimic either the self or peer setting (although it seems possible
that it might generate 2 calls, the fork and the original).  If you try it,
please post back for reference.

aspassedtoAGI

Yes, exactly.

I'm curious as to what would happen if I were to use both instead of peer.
:-)
