Hey Tim, I wholeheartedly endorse the idea of making this more generic and not channel specific...as to your ideas, I would be happy with having to press '#' to indicate "acceptance" of the call, even if there is only silence on the other end. On the other hand, I like your ideas of announcing the call, verbalizing the callerid digits and presenting a menu to answer or deflect, etc...that would be icing and very cool... I'm happy to contribute on this topic where possible...I'm not a coder but I'm willing to take the effort to learn whatever will make me useful towards this goal...
