I have a Panasonic switch here and it a paging system on the switch. It will output the page message to all phones and also to an RCA (Phono) socket on the side of the switch to a PA amplifier if required to drive a 100Volt line system around a building.

The problem is that if you dial "phone1&phone2" then the first phone to auto-answer will receive the "broadcasted" call. The other phones in the list will not hear anything. Well, that'd be what I'd expect to happen with Dial(), anyway. Stan seems to be asking for a system where the caller hears a ring tone until all phones (auto)answer, and is then able to speak to them all at once. It'd be kind of like an "enforced conference call", but with one speaker and multiple listeners, and with all audio received from the called phones thrown away rather than distributed. It could be done, but would need a new Dial()-based application to do it, I think. Perhaps there's an existing facility that can be used to to do this. If there is then I can't think of it. -- _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ _/ K e v i n W a l s h _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] _/ _/ _/_/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
