Thanks to Jim, I finally got the iaxRpt working. I could not see the extra comma no matter how long I stared at it (why I do not do software for my day job) The instructions on the Xelatec web site say to do this: [radio-gui] exten => NODENUMBER,1,rpt(NODENUMBER|X) if I do that, I get the famous "I should never be called!" warning message. With the comma plus parenthesis (as in my note below) it fails to connect. The syntax that works, without error messages, is exten => NODENUMBER,1,rpt,NODENUMBER|X where NODENUMBER is replaced with the digits of the asterisk node number.

[radio-gui] exten => 27021,1,rpt,(27021|X) Either get rid of the comma after the rpt or take the parenthesis off around the "27021|X" From: ke2n@cs.com To: telesistant@hotmail.com Subject: RE: I should never be called! Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2011 04:53:49 -0500 I assume that is a rhetorical question (if I knew the answer I would not be bothering you with it). But I would like to point out that it actually said it couldn’t find “(27021” not “27021” Executing [27021@radio-gui:1] Rpt("IAX2/gui-9348", "(27021|X)") in new stack vs Executing [27061@radio-gui:1] Rpt("IAX2/gui-5444", "27061|X") in new stack But none of this considers the “I should never be called” message which would seem to indicate IAX is having indigestion even with the node that it does connect to successfully… Ken
