Ok let me make sure I understand. You have a PA system that takes a regular phone. When you pick up the phone the PA keys and you talk. The PA system is acting like a phone company -- it provides battery voltage to the regular phone. You want to replace the regular phone with Asterisk. Asterisk needs to look like a phone to the PA system. That's a FXO port, not an FXS port. So... Get yourself an FXO port and Dial(Zap/1) -- it will work exactly as expected. > exten=1234,1,Answer(ZAP/1) exten => 1234,1,Dial(Zap/1) No immediate mode needed. It was just a misconception of how the system interfaced. :-) -A. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
