This feature (confirm calls) works fine on another ring group I have (that only contains a single, external number), so I don't think the issue is with my SIP provider "answering" the calls before they are really answered. Also - even if this was the case - the call was getting considered "answered" somehow before it really was - asterisk is not supposed to stop the other phones from ringing until the user presses "1". Remember, my problem only occurs when I enable the confirm calls feature. I'm using Trixbox, so I don't know exactly what happens when I check that box. > Please provide the routing logic, how do you want to accomplish that? > > Regards > > Rennes > Hmmm is ringall the answer? Not hunting or anything like that. Or are asking how the external call is routed? It goes out through a SIP trunk. -Ryan _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
