I recently implemented a simple "spam trap" extension for telemarketers - once identified as a telemarketer (usually they ask to speak to the person in charge of recruiting/website/purchasing/etc.), I simply offer to put them through to the person in question, & dump them on a special extension which plays music for 15 seconds, then 1.5s silence, then a "please wait, we're trying to put you through" message; repeat until they give up waiting.
I'm using a Grandstream GXP2000 phone, so I've got 7 "presence" lights; of which I'm only using a couple at the moment. Is it possible in Asterisk 1.4.x to issue a dialplan command which will set a phantom SIP extension to "busy" for as long as a caller is in the "spam trap", & back to idle when they finally give up & hang up? The basic reason is twofold: 1) I want to see just how long they're willing to wait, and 2) For a sense of personal amusement (yes, I am a bad man) :) Cheers, Ade.
