Question : Asterisk: Agent logs into queue, and there are calls in the queue, but calls don't go to agent.

When an agent logs into a queue using AgentCallBackLogin, he should be ready to take calls until he logs out right?  For some reason the first time a customer calls the queue, it rings the agent just fine but after the agent hangs up the phone and the next caller calls the queue, no more calls will be transferred to the agent.  He shows as logged in, but the calls wait in the queue forever and never get sent to the agent.  Ive googled for this but couldnt find anyone else with this problem.

Ive tried many different ways and nothing seems to work.  Ive been baffled by this for days.  Its time to ask you experts here at experts-exchange :)  Thanks in advance for coming to my rescue.  500 points to the victor!!

I am using Asterisk 1.2.4 on slackware 10.2

Answer : Asterisk: Agent logs into queue, and there are calls in the queue, but calls don't go to agent.

I haven't used the agent stuff in Asterisk.
If nobody here can help I would suggest joining and posting your question on the asterisk mailing list. See http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Mailing+Lists
