Hey Tony, in the pbx space that feature is called "camp on" I have no idea why - just thought I'd let you know.

A calls B. B is engaged (busy). > 2. A hears "The number you called is busy. To use ringback, press 5" > 3. A presses 5, and hears "Your ringback request has been accepted". > 4. A hangs up. > 5. Later, B hangs up. The system then calls A (if A is now busy, it > waits until A is clear again). > 6. If/when A answers, the system calls B on A's behalf and A hears ringing. > > Any implementation has to cater for the fact that when B is busy, he > could be either the calling or the called party on his current call. > If he is the calling party, he will execute 'h' when he clears, but > if he is the called party, he won't be in the dialplan to execute 'h', > so we need some other way to invoke the ringback (step 5). > > Thoughts? > > Cheers > Tony > -- > Tony Mountifield > Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.softins.co.uk > Play: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://tony.mountifield.org > > _______________________________________________ > -- 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 _______________________________________________ -- 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
