I have played with it. But the problem I'm having is as follows
exten => _1800.,1,Dial(Zap/4/${EXTEN},20,Tr) ; call some company
willing to pay for my test, preferably get someone with an on hold message
; Now I press #* on the analog phone to transfer them to Meetme
exten => *,1,Meetme,2000 ; send
them to meetme
exten => *,2,Flash() ;
flash the pstn line
What makes you think that would flash the PSTN line?
Because the cli reports that it is executing flash on the Zap/4 - the PSTN line
This is your problem. When you transfer the PSTN line anywhere and then go to dial again, the flash is actually on the current channel. I wouldn't be surprised if you hear it in your receiver. I don't know of anyway to flash the PSTN line from within asterisk that would do as you want. In fact, to enable it would be a security risk as well. Think of the possibility of having multiple lines in and then dialing an extension to flash the line and messing up and flashing someone else's connection.
Closest thing I could think of is having your PSTN side caller do the transfer and redial. If the PSTN caller was allowed to transfer the inside person and then dial a special extension that would initiate the flash and the dial command. Of course the trouble here is that as soon as the flash occurs, the new caller is the one going to be stuck in an odd state and the previous PSTN caller is going to be in unrecoverable limbo.
Just looks like you will be SOL on utilizing the PSTN 3 way calling.
Yeah, I think you are right.
But what is the point of threewaycalling and transfer in zapata.conf - what do they do?
