asterisk users - Nov 2006 - Off-Site Extensions That Would Show As In-Use?

Hello, list!
I'd like to create an extension that points to an offsite location (a 
number on the PSTN), the purpose of which would be to see if that 
offsite location is still on a call forwarded to it by Asterisk. This 
way a receptionist could choose to transfer calls to a mobile phone only 
if it's finished with the last call the receptionist forwarded to it.

If I configure a custom extension with the destination 
SIP/TrunkName/NXXNXXXXXX, the calls transfer fine but don't show as busy 
using the Flash Operator Panel (as an example).

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,
Alex

Are you trying to get FOP to monitor the SIP account that you are using to dial
the cell phone on ?

The SIP extension, yes. So, as long as a call that has been forwarded to 
that cell phone is still in progress, that extension should still show busy.

Thanks again,
