Michael, Thanks again for bearing with my novice perspective on this. I was able to achieve the link between two FS servers as intended. However, I was not able to setup a "new" dialplan file as you described. I had to place the script into the default.xml dialplan to get it to work. Is there something I'm supposed to do to get FS to look in the conf/dialplan/default ? Also, in using the code as we discussed, I was also able to establish the link between the two servers without having an actual soft-phone registered/connected to the FS server (which is ideal for my situation). I can create the link between the servers, and then dial out to external phone numbers from the respective servers and connect the participants. Then, regardless of who hangs-up, the conference between the servers remains in tact. So far it works very well. - T
