asterisk users - Jun 2006 - Re: CallerID name inbound from PRI

XO fixed my caller ID name.
I am using FreePBX and I can include a "wait" to my custom extensions.

Is there a way to add a wait to the whole PRI?

I assume that if I set immediate to yes, I can then have a "s"
extension
do the wait, but how would it get from the "s" to the DID extension?
(also, I would rather not answer every call)

Is there a "magic" spot in Free PBX's configs to add the wait for
all
calls on that PRI, or do I need to alter the FreePBX code to add it when
creating the conf. Files?
 

 

Thank You,
