To solve the problem of Local channels answering Queue calls, I thought
about myabe using a channel variable switch that turns on before the Queue
is called, and a check in the extension-dial to Local/ext to see if it is a
queue call and shouldn't go to voicemail, or if it's just a direct call that
should go to voicemail after a certain time. .......I think it'll work,
though I haven't tried it yet

Probably you're putting "Local" channels into the queue. Any answer event

Or create extensions that do not end in Voicemail for the use of Queue.

so I tried this .......and locally on the same server, the channel variable
'VMFLAG' works great -- gets checked for direct calls, and set to 0 when
sending calls through Queues.

But the power of Chan Local/ to send calls between multiple servers is
ruined because now if you dial direct a Local/ext ... it won't pass that
variable along ....so all calls to external channels are considered Queue
calls.

:-\

gotta maintain that 'information' when I dial out over IAX2 to the other
peer
any random ideas appreciated,
