How about a cron job to drop a .call file on your PBX which will go to a context like this: exten => s,1,Dial(ZAP/g1/xxxxxxxx,30) exten => s,2,gotoif(${DIALSTATUS}="unanswered",10) exten => s,3,noop(allok) exten => s,4,Hangup exten => s,10,noop(BAD) exten => s,11,system(mail -s "Customer PBX XXX is not answering calls" [EMAIL PROTECTED]) exten => s,12,hangup You will need to look at priority 2, and fix that to work, I didn't look at the usage/etc for that.
