asterisk users - Dec 2004 - ALERT_INFO issue CVS-HEAD-12/24/04

Anyone having any problems with CVS-HEAD-12/24/04-15:59:15
and ALERT_INFO
I have a system setup with polycom phones configured to auto
answer on internal calls. When we upgraded to the latest CVS
the auto answer stopped working. My dialplan has not
changed. I did a sip debug and I dont see the alert-info tag
in any of the sip traces.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

This is a what I have in my dialplan.

exten => 207,1,SetVar(ALERT_INFO="Ring Answer")
exten => 207,2,Dial(SIP/207)
exten => 207,3,Hangup

This has been covered onm asterisk-users already. The syntax for passign 
ALERT_INFO has changed. Set the variable _ALERT_INFO instead of 
ALERT_INFO. The new, outgoing, channel will inherit ALERT_INFO then.
