Yes, you can. You actually have two options for doing this. One is using app_jack and the other is using chan_console. chan_console uses libportaudio, which supports jack as an audio backend. To initiate a SIP call from the Asterisk CLI and connect it to app_jack, you would use a command similar to the following: *CLI> originate SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED] application Jack i(outputport)o(inputport) Using chan_console, you have various call control CLI commands available: *CLI> console dial <extension> *CLI> console hangup While using app_jack will give you more control over how you connect to Jack from the Asterisk CLI, using chan_console will give you more of a normal phone experience, as it will play tones to the audio interface that you normally hear when using a phone. > Why I'm doing this and not use another app: > 1.

If you have any suggestions that would make app_jack or chan_console easier for you to use, then please let me know.
