Now that sounds like a good plan. But a quick look through the options in zapata.conf don't show any kind of option for waiting before pickup. Something that *did* look promising is distinctive ring detection. Has anyone used this ability to detect different ring styles? Presumably with a lot of trial and error I might be able to detect a ring splash from a real ring. ALternatively if someone knows how to actually make the card wait X rings or seconds before answering, that would be great. I'm coming up zero on searches. Its already set to wait for callerid, so I am a bit confused why it is picking up on a splash... seems it should wait for that "second" ring anyway.
