stavros, and krzykat

Firstly thank you for your time to assist. While I understand and agree with the you're feelings you two express about my newbie post I can assure you both I made it not for my hand to be held, nor to have the project done for me while i sit back and sip lemonade. I'm a network support tech and i personally know the anguish one can feel when it seems people just wont take the time to read or even think about the problem. Still i remind myself I had to start somewhere with what i know. And those that helped make me the professional I am now has giving me a chance to help others so that they can achieve their goals and in turn maybe do the same for another.

I started learning asterisk, tribox, and now a2billing for 2 months and I'm extremely drawn to its possibilities. I think this forum is a very good thing you have here as a source for help and development of the technology. If your losing moderators because they may feel the grade of the forum is deminishing or they simply cannot take another 'newbie' question. Then help me and the others that are enthusiasts like yourselves to replace those no longer there.

I ask for no spoon feeding, only to be pointed in the right direction. and im sure others only ask the same.

Good attitude and YES - that's what we need. More people to learn and pass on what they learn and build a bigger and stronger community.

just to continue with this original post. I followed this particular link for my install.

http://www.sureteq.com/asterisk/a2bv1.2.3install.htm

the particulas of the server
A2billing Ver:
sterisk2Billing - Tag 1.3.1 (Yellowjacket) - Release : December 2007

Trixbox Ver:
v2.4.0 ©2007

Now that setup at sureteq has some different folder references from this version but aside from that i was able to get to the point where i can log into the web interface. I have created a rate card, tariff groups, and customers via the web interface. i see those customers and its parameters in a conf file called additional_a2billing_sip.conf. I then setup an xlite phone and a extension in exttensions.conf with the following info.

[a2billing]
exten => 225,1,Answer
exten => 225,2,Wait,2
exten => 225,3,DeadAGI,a2billing.php
exten => 225,4,Wait,2
exten => 225,5,Hangup

when i dial it i now hear only the balance of that customer. Nothing else. Im uncertain if this what is expected to happen becuase much of what i read on the net and this forum tells me i should hear a voice asking for the user PIN number.

OK - so now when you call in from a registered SIP user, it prompts you with that user's balance, and then asks you for # to dial, or tries to connect call or ??
