That assumes that you are routing to voicemail. That doesn't always apply. Also -- the payphone behaviour varies quite a lot by service provider. I can tell you that in southern Alberta, there is no 2 or 3 second window. When the called line goes off hook, your coins are gone. This is Telus, remember. We're lucky they give us payphones at all. > Suggest you implement i'm here / i'm away dialplan logic or set the do not > disturb button that way when someone calls and the guy is away it hits > voicemail right away and the caller can hear this and still have the 2 or 3 > second window to hang up and get his $$ back.

Asterisk is so flexible I find it hard to believe there is no way to tell the Zap interface to answer when the corresponding SIP extension is picked up. -Stephen- _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
