I dial #700 and it puts them on hold and they stay there,
it also reads off to me the number I dial to get them off hold.

That's both true and false. We have a legacy PBX here. Panasonic make. Analog extensions connected to it (a.k.a "stupid" extensions) behace exactly like the grandstream - you can put a call on hold, but if you put the handset back on the cradle it's bye bye Mary.Digital extensions (a.k.a "smart" extensions) can hold a call indefinitely. They can do other neat stuff too...-----Original Message----- From: Ferguson, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 17, 2004 11:11 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Call on hold disconnects... Antony, Thanks. It seems that the GS will not keep the call on hold. In the real world though, when you place a call on hold, it is held until further action. The caller will hear messages, music, anything while you are gone to look for a file, etc. Technically, if you place the call on hold and put the handset back on the cradle, you DID NOT HANG UP to end the call. If you want to hang up the call you will first have to take the call off hold... No. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Antony Stone Sent: Friday, December 17, 2004 3:54 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Call on hold disconnects...

The caller hears music on hold.So far, so good.The hand set is placed back on the cradle (as is done on a regular phone with a hold button)I'm not sure I agree with this. Some phones may allow you to hang up and not disconnect the call, but I don't think it's universal. Some phones interpret this to mean "oh, you want to hang up? Okay - I'll hang up the call then."The call is disconnected.Well, yes, because you hung up. What happens if you do something else, like dial another extension, or press the hold button again (perhaps to retreive the original caller)? I repeat one of my original questions - if this is not what you expected to happen when you hang up the phone, how would you expect to hang up the call when you wanted to?
