RE: [Asterisk-Users] Caller entered digits ignored during wait....

[Gene Kochanowsky]

I figured it out… This works  -   exten => s,1,Wait,1                               ; Wait a second before answering. exten => s,2,Answer exten => s,3,SetVar,"loopCnt=0" exten => s,4,Background(welcome) exten => s,5,SetVar,"loopCnt=$[${loopCnt} + 1]" exten => s,6,gotoif,"$[${loopCnt} >= 3]?s|7:s|9" exten => s,7,Background(vm-goodbye) exten => s,8,Hangup exten => s,9,Background(parties) exten => s,10,ResponseTimeout(10) exten => t,1,Goto,s|5   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gene Kochanowsky Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 7:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Caller entered digits ignored during wait....   Greetings,   Below is part of the contents of my extensions.conf file.   exten => s,1,Wait,1                               ; Wait a second before answering. exten => s,2,Answer exten => s,3,ResponseTimeout,10                      ; Set the amount of time the user                                                             ; has to make a selection. exten => s,4,DigitTimeout,5                    ; Set the amount of time user has                                                             ; between each number entry when                                                             ; dialing an extension. exten => s,5,Background(welcome) exten => s,6,Background(parties) exten => s,7,Wait(10) exten => s,8,Background(parties) exten => s,9,Wait(10) exten => s,10,Background(vm-goodbye) exten => s,11,Hangup   I can make a menu selection as long as Background is running however during Wait(10) DTMF digits are ignored. How can I wait for a response and register the response at the same time? I supposed I could create a sound file of 10 second duration and play this but that seems kinda like a hack to me.   Gene Kochanowky
