Oooh.. That makes sense now.. I have only used fxo for a pots line and
would issue dial like so:
exten=blah,1,Dial(ZAP/1/blah)
But I never really thought about just a simple dial without a number.. so
essentially the card will just pick up the channel and bridge them together?
Thanks alot everyone,
-Chad

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
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. :-)
