Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: delaying answer for a number of ringsor an amount
well I've heard that there are open source IP phones given away for free in WALMART, I'm seriously thinking to get couple of 'em!! 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. Joseph Tanner Truely/ Joe Tahan From: Brian J.

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.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: delaying answer for a number of ringsor an amount
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=0catid=24threadid=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!

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: delaying answer for a number of ringsor an amount of time
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. 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. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Re: delaying answer for a number of ringsor an amount of time
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. Greg -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian J.
