Basically, you have the FXO port add a character to the beginning of the CIDNumber (I picked "Z"). Then, for the FXS port, have it conditionally forward a call to * if it has that character at the beginning of the CIDNumber. Since all calls coming in from the FXO port would have that character, but no other calls would, it effectively makes the call pass through to * without answering it.

It took me a few tries to get the settings right, but in the end it works well. Also, in addressing the post about the Handytone 488... I had one for a week. Either I had a bad one, or the item needs a bit more work to be marketed as something anyone would want to rely on. I ended up returning mine. But it did seem to only pass the call to Asterisk after about 4 rings. - Dan _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
