asterisk users - Mar 2004 - flash button

Hi,

Is there a way to control the flash timing in Asterisk? I'm using 
Siemens euroset 805S analog phones with Asterisk I can transfer a call 
just hitting a little slower on the "on-hook" button. The flash button
is not working.
I was trying to set in zapata.conf changing values of flash and rxflash 
and it did not work. Is there an other way to do this?

best regards
Osvaldo

I had exactly the same problem with exactly the same phone ;-)

When I pressed the flash button, Asterisk interpreted the event as a
pulse-dialed "1". I looked into zaptel.h and found the following line:

#define ZT_MAXPULSETIME (150 * 8)        /* 150 ms maximum */

Every pulse shorter than that value is treated as a pulse-dial pulse.
Since all my phones seem to generate 100 ms flash pulses, I reduced the
"150" to "75" and recompiled Zaptel & Asterisk. The
problem is solved -
and pulse-dialing still works.
