That is what I was worried about. Let me try and explain the situation a
bit better... Basically I have an existing P.A. system that works by simply
picking up the line that it is connected to. So basically I just pick up a
phone and I am instantly talking over the P.A. So what I wanted to do was
hook the line into an fxs port (instead of a standard phone) and dial an
extension from anywhere and have it instantly bridge me to the line. I
figured this would be simple and I thought that the answer command would do
it for me.. for instance
exten=1234,1,Answer(ZAP/1)
and wham.. I am on the P.A. when I dial 1234. But unfortunately that is not
how the Answer command works and I was hoping someone on here would know of
an alternative.
Thanks again,
-Chad

I assure you I have read the asterisk handbook many times. The

I misread your message then, I apologize.
immediate=yes means it immeditely enters the dialplan at the given
context's
's' extension. It can dial an extension, execute an AGI, make your
coffee...
whatever you have in the dialplan.
Now to answer your question though -- how do you intend for Asterisk to
physically pick up some telephone somewhere? Are you wanting extension 5,
for example, to not ring a telephone on an FXS port but have the phone
automatically answer? The phone needs to have auto-answer capability...
Asterisk can't make something answer a line, it can only ring the FXS port
and wait for the connected device to answer...
