[Asterisk-Users] call waiting, * and FXO

[mike jennings]

I have been told that the combination of call waiting, * and FXO does and will not work because “Asterisk is a PBX”.  I guess I’d like to hear if this is a hard and fast “no this will not work and here’s why”, or that this currently doesn’t work but with some coding might work.   I’d like to have the option to be able to continue using call waiting with an FXO line (and I know I’m not alone).  I know if I switched to a SIP based connection instead of the FXO this would work, but I currently like my unlimited plan with Vonage.    Would anyone like to enlighten me?   I have done numerous searches and I’ve included a few postings that were mostly not answered.   http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2004-May/046855.html http://www.vovida.org/pipermail/mgcp/2001-May/000571.html   Thanks
