That doesn't seem to work, however your post (and Ian's) got me googling for asterisk and alert_info and turned up this link, which I think solves *all* of my problems: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Polycom+auto-answer+config "In this real-world example, whenever I set ALERT_INFO to "Sales" in Asterisk, the Polycom matches on that word and calls up class 8 in ipmid.cfg." and then "se.rt.8.type="ring" tells the Polycom phone which type of ring to use - which in this case is a regular ring and se.rt.8.ringer="11" tells the phone to ring with ringtone 11 with is the Triplet. I use this one for signaling a new incoming sales call to one of my three sales guys. The secretary transfers it to the sales department and their lines ring with the Triplet. I feel like Pavlov whenever I hear it." Thank you *so* much (you too, Ian!) for helping me find the right keywords to do what it is I'm trying to do. -A.
