Daivd, I think you missed part of his question.
You can easily choose not to answer an inbound call in FS by never explicitly answering it. you can call pre_answer instead or if you send the call to an app that requires media it's pre_answered automatically. pre_answer in FS terms is early media. You can run an ivr for instance completely in early_media (assuming the telco allows dtmf during early media) He asked if we can *bridge* the call outward to another endpoint and not pass the answer across when the far end answers. The bridge application is designed to bridge calls and the standard behavior when forwarding a call would be once the far end answers, pass the answer indication down the line. We do not currently have provision for supressing the answer as I stated. It would require a patch.
