asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Queue Announcement

Good day,

I am currently taking a look at queues. What I am trying to
achieve is that, beside the MoH, when the caller gets put
into the queue, she should hear an announcement like "welcome
to snakeoil - please wait or leave a message by pressing #"
then the MoH. The announcement should be repeatet every lets
say 60 seconds. Additionally, it would be good if the queue-members
could already be ringed while the first announcement is still
read.

Any way to do that?

Thanks
Sascha

The icd queueing system supports different messages and anouncements at 
different times etc. Look for icd or app_icd. Whereas the acd in Asterisk 
strives for simplicity icd seems to go for the kitchen sink. :-)
