After having looked around on google, voip-info, etc, I am coming here for a bit of insight from anyone who might be willing to provide some....

I am using * (it's [EMAIL PROTECTED], but this should apply to any * install) to handle my home phone line. I have a TDM11B card, and my Verizon line comes in on the FXO port and my cordless phone is plugged in to the FXS port. Everything works just dandy, except for call waiting on the Verizon line, since when I press flash on my cordless, it flashes the FXS port, not the Verizon line.

OK, no problem, after looking online, it seems that I need to use the Flash() command to flash the Verizon line by creating an entry in my dialplan (extensions_custom.conf since I use [EMAIL PROTECTED]) that flashes the Verizon line and then transfers the call back to me. So I found http://voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20cmd% 20Flash#comments on the Wiki, but that does not seem to work for me. (I do have call waiting enabled on my cordless extension, BTW). The calling party hears Allison say "All Circuits are Busy" Here's what I tried:

exten => 11,1,Flash()
exten => 11,2,Goto(ext-local,200,1)

I also tried:
exten => 11,1,Playback(transfer)
exten => 11,2,Flash()
exten => 11,3,transfer(200)
exten => 11,4,Hangup()

The idea being that I would transfer the call to extension 11, which would transfer it back to me. The problem, I think, is that * can't reach me on my cordless, b/c I already have two calls going (The orignal and me transferring to 11)

I'm sure that I am not the first to try this, and I'm sure that the way I am going about this is boneheaded, so can someone point out the best way to flash the incoming Verizon line whenever I have call waiting? (I'm considering cancelling call-waiting and having the Verizon line Call-forward-busy to a broadvoice number, but you would think I could dream up a better solution....)
