Sorry for the fragmented messages from me - one last thing I forgot to ask in my last post. When incoming calls come to us, our PSTN line is picked up almost immediately - and then asterisk will proceed to dial the SIP extensions. During this time the caller hears dead slience - obviously not very good as some would think the line just went dead and hang up. I have toyed with the idea of playing a 'welcome... your call will be answered shortly' etc... message, but can't get it to work how want it. The caller will hear a recorded message, followed by music. What I want is the caller to hear this WHILE the SIP phones are ringing - but using the 'Background' option in extensions.conf seems to make it so that my SIP phones won't be dialled until AFTER the music clip is finished - i.e. pointless. How do I truly set a background audio to play while the internal phones are ringing? Is this possible? Music on hold perhaps? Thanks, Terence

Is this possible? Music on hold perhaps?Unless I'm missing something here, from the CLI do a 'show application dial' and checkout the "r" option, as in: exten => 3015,1,Dial(SIP/3015,15,tr)
Use music on hold, and tell the dial app to use it..
