Thanks for responding. I figured it out. On Mon, 5 Jul 2004 22:22:37 -0600 (MDT), Greg Hill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I suspect that after Dial has happened the auto-answer connects you to the > console, and the call doesn't reach Playback until after the console hangs > up.
Which is exactly right. > As for how to do what you're after.. I dunno!

It turns out that Dial has option that does exactly what I want, namely, play a tone over the speakers (console) to alert people that somebody is about to speak/ A(x): Play an announcement (x.gsm) to the called party. Put that in Dial's options and Asterisk sends it out to the caller, which is exactly what I wanted. You can find more in the Tiki The only bad part about all of this is that my roommate found a air-raid siren sound, and so now when you call you don't get a tone but a 2 minute long warning that a tornado is approaching. I'll have to change that. > Greg > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Asterisk-Users mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users > _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
