Dear Ian,

Let me try to clarify some things here. Eavesdrop does _NOT_ make a call to the endpoint being monitored. I makes a call to the FreeSWITCH and then it "copies" RTP packets to the new established call. So, putting into your own words, you are listening to the call 1001 is making.

Now, recording the call when you dial to 881001 is done through a different application and can be done with the dialplan as well. Take a look at: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Misc._Dialplan_Tools_record_session

Hi, I have a question regarding the eavesdrop extension that FreeSwitch has. I'm currently looking at http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Misc._Dialplan_Tools_eavesdrop. From what I gather reading the page, you enable eavesdrop/call barge by making the changes specified in "examples" to the default.xml file. However, I'm interested in knowing more about how this particular module works, and how I can use its capabilities. Is there any further documentation for this feature, and where can I find such documentation?

For example, in the example provided, if I dial 881001, am I actually making the call to 1001, or am I simply listening to any call 1001 is making? Does this extension allow me to say, dial 881001, and have the phone that I'm using connect to 1001, and record the call I'm making to 1001 in the FreeSwitch server?

thanks
-Ian
