There's idiots that tell people about free, and cheaper-than-free
deals all the time.  Here's just one such idiot:
http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/messageview.php?start=0&catid=24&threadid=524641

BTW, the idea is to get all that you want for yourself first, THEN
tell everyone about the deal.

Again, I'm thinkin free = FAR (free after rebate).  But, I have seen
at least one time, a completely, 100% free item, no rebates, no
gimmicks, advertised.  I believe it was OfficeMax, and was some kind
of check printing software.  It was advertised as being free without
rebates, was not a misprint, and people were having no problems
walking out the door with it without paying a penny.

Now, had you said these phones were 100% free, no rebates or anything,
completely unlocked, no service plans needed, etcthen I would have
seriously doubted you, enough that I wouldn't even bother calling
anyone up to verify the deal (though if I was already in a Wal-Mart,
and in the right section, I might just glance to make sure).

But, in the interest of getting this thread back on track:

Boy oh boy am I stupid!  Man oh man, you pulled one over on me.  I
must be the most stupidest idiotest dumb there is!  Hahaha!  Good
one!

Funny funny.  In this day of free (after rebate) PAP2s, a free (again,
I assumed after rebate) IP phone seemed plausible.  BTW, check
walmart.com, they do indeed sell ip phones.

I guess I'll just have to use one of my free DTA310s or my free PAP2 instead.

What phone would this be?  I didn't notice any, but there's 5-6
Wal-Marts within an hour's drive, I'd love to try to find some.  Never
can have too many.  Are they regular IP phones that connect via
ethernet, or do they plug in via usb?  I wouldn't want any usb ones
for myself, but my dad could use one.

Well, yeah, ideally I have the phones on an FSX, but a) I don't have one
yet and b) I want to make sure I am happy with running a PBX before I
invest in "a".  :-)

I hope so.  I'm going to dig into source to see.  :-/

As someone must have already said, it's not a good idea to share lines
with asterisk. This said, when we first began to use asterisk, I
needed a way to have it NOT pickup when we temporarily had phones in
parellel on the same 2 lines. When a line was flagged in the database
as "/pickup1=0" the dialpan did a goto(do-nothing,s,1)

[do-nothing]
exten => s,1,AbsoluteTimeout(0)
exten => s,2,NoOp("doing nothing: call came if with flag set to noanswer")
exten => s,3,Wait(70)
exten => t,1,Hangup

The above code made asterisk *never* pickup, so it must be possible,
though not  good practice, to do what you want, unless things have
changed in more recent versions.

Right.  My original question was about making Asterisk wait a number or
rings (or amount of time) before picking up a Zap line.  If the
rings/time were not reached while the line is still ringing, do nothing.

This allows a handset *on the same POTS line* as Asterisk to pick up and
Asterisk does nothing.  But if nobody picks up the POTS line (that
asterisk is on too) then it picks up.

I essentially want Asterisk to be an answering machine on the line.

No, it will dial like a pass-through simultaneously to sip/iax
extensions.  If you were to dial out to an analog port though, that
would be different.

So in essence, you can have all the phones ringing at the same time.

How does doing only that prevent Asterisk from picking up the POTS line
for a period of time (like 3 or 4 rings... or 10 seconds or so to give a
handset on the same POTS line an opportunity to pick it up first --
think answering machine)?  As I understand it removing the Wait and
Answer would cause Asterisk to pick the POTS line up right away and dial
brian and joe's phones with it.

Am I missing something?
