[App_rpt-users] Parrot Mode

[Mike]

There is plenty to know on this subject and I have not got to the bottom 
of it all....LOL

Parrot is used most commonly for instant tests by DTMF user command.

(must be enabled as parrot once by command )

AND

On simplex nodes where everything is rec/played-back (creates delay)

I have been told it does not work on headless nodes BUT...

I see no reason for that, but it could be.

After testing it myself and unable to make it work as a headless VPS node,

I wrote my own script to do the same on connect.

But in making that work, I found my install from iso of ASL 1.01 had 
errors in the modules.conf name spelling,

so my temporary belief of what I was told about it not working headless 
should be tested again. (perhaps I will when time allows).

You should be able to attach this to a public or private node if it does 
indeed work headless.

Double check that all the correct modules are being loaded and they are 
spelled correctly in the module list or they will not load for you.

Sorry, this is all the time I have to throw at it right now, but let me 
know if you run into a specific problem.

But I would also be curious of your success !
