I have found lots of examples. Although nothing seems to be working.

I have I believe my sangoma a400 card properly configured. I am running latest trixbox.
I am in need of a way to take my

Bell canada business line (that can do transfers ) like a person who calls I can flash hook and call another person and then hang up and they are transferred freeing up my phone line.

First I did was head on over to /etc/asterisks

and edited my zapata.conf

I added some things (I dunno if the defaults where fine or not!)
rxwink=300
flash=750
wink=150
prewink=50
preflash=50
debounce=600
rxflash=1250

then I added extensions_custom.conf

[custom-call_cell]
exten => s,1,Playback(pls-wait-connect-call) ;# does not seem to even play this
exten => s,2,Flash() ;# it defiantly flashes over though
exten => s,3,senddtmf(${ARG1})
exten => s,4,Flash() ;# I thought adding another flash would help
exten => s,5,Hangup()

then I went to the Extensions section and added a Other Custom Device

made the extension 921 and where it said dial I typed in
custom-call_cell,theNumberIamTryingToGetItToDial,1

note sub in the number theNumberIamTryingToGetItToDial

It just seems no mater how I edit any of the settings when I call it from the outside world and hit 921 I hear it flash hook (Sorry I dunno what else to call this) and I sit there for a bit then it just hangs up on me.

somethings wrong! I want to be able to call in enter the extension 921 have the context custom-call_cell flash over have it send the dtmfs of the number to dial then connect me to the call..

Ugh.. is there a easier way to do this.

here are some links

I posted here also as roger8

I could really use some input

Does anyone see anything wrong with this.
Exited non-zero it sort of just ignors it?!

Hows my syntax?

here is the variations of the extensions_custom.conf

[custom-call_cell]
exten => _X.,1,Playback(pls-hold-while-try)
exten => _X.,n,Flash()
exten => _X.,n,senddtmf(${EXTEN})
exten => _X.,n,Hangup()

in extensions I made a othere (custom) device
and entered in dial custom-call_cell,theNumberIamTryingToGetItToDial,1


Executing [s@macro-dial:7] Dial("Zap/5-1", "custom-call_cell,theNumberIamTryingToGetItToDial,1||tr") in new stack
== Spawn extension (macro-dial, s, 7) exited non-zero on 'Zap/5-1' in macro 'dial'
== Spawn extension (macro-dial, s, 7) exited non-zero on 'Zap/5-1' in macro 'exten-vm'
== Spawn extension (macro-dial, s, 7) exited non-zero on 'Zap/5-1'
-- Executing [h@macro-dial:1] Macro("Zap/5-1", "hangupcall") in new stack
-- Executing [s@macro-hangupcall:1] ResetCDR("Zap/5-1", "w") in new stack
-- Executing [s@macro-hangupcall:2] NoCDR("Zap/5-1", "") in new stack
-- Executing [s@macro-hangupcall:3] GotoIf("Zap/5-1", "1?skiprg") in new stack
-- Goto (macro-hangupcall,s,6)
-- Executing [s@macro-hangupcall:6] GotoIf("Zap/5-1", "1?skipblkvm") in new stack
-- Goto (macro-hangupcall,s,9)
-- Executing [s@macro-hangupcall:9] GotoIf("Zap/5-1", "1?theend") in new stack
-- Goto (macro-hangupcall,s,11)
-- Executing [s@macro-hangupcall:11] Hangup("Zap/5-1", "") in new stack
== Spawn extension (macro-hangupcall, s, 11) exited non-zero on 'Zap/5-1' in macro 'hangupcall'
== Spawn extension (macro-hangupcall, s, 11) exited non-zero on 'Zap/5-1'
-- Hungup 'Zap/5-1'

I have read your posts and have no idea what you are trying to do.

You are not in a channel so not sure how the flash would work right?

Are you trying to flash a zap channel you are on to transfer 'centrex' style via the telco.

You need to slow down and lay out the call flow if you want any help.

When A call comes in on a zap channel it hits the ivr, when a extension is entered (in my case 921 ) what ever zap channel the call came in on it should (attempting to do)

play pls-hold-while-try
then
flash
then
send dtmf (the cell phone number I want it to reach)
then
(hopefully by then the call is connected and passed transfer 'centrex' style via the telco)
and a hangup is sent to clear up that zap channel

Are you telling me I have to have a certain channel set. Cause I want it to work on what ever zap channel it comes in on. They should all be able to do this.

I only showed the part where the call_cell,theNumberIamTryingToGetItToDial,1 was sent and what happened I felt the rest does not seem that important . Would you like me to post what it looks like from the start of a call to where it Hungup

I have to think about this. Flash is run on the current channel. Does the extension at least play the files with the playback function then crash?

Yes, but not in forum - place it in pastebin and post a link.

This is more complicated

This is more complicated than you may think. What you need to do is execute your app on the current channel.

I think misc. apps can be targets of IVR
