asterisk users - Nov 2006 - Monitoring awareness

Hello,

I'm discovering asterisk, it seem to be a great soft.

I have seen a fonction to record calls that's a great fontion but there is
something disturbing me.

When the record start, except if the recorder prevent the other part, he is not
aware of the recording...

I dont find a way from the feature.conf how to play a sound when a monitor start
to record :/

Either play a file with a beep or a verbal message that this call may be 
recorded for such and such reason.  This can be done easily in the 
dialplan by calling playback or background prior to monitor.

Depending on local laws, you may be OK if just one party on the call 
knows it is being recorded.  Other states have different laws.  I have 
no idea how the law works when one caller is in one state with one set 
of laws and the other caller is in a different state with different laws.

Thanks,
Steve
