asterisk users - Oct 2003 - call waiting beep

Is there anyway to turn off the call waiting beep in the grandstream and/or
cisco ata186?

I have a dial statement in my extensions.conf that rings 5 phones at the
same time by combining them with the & in the dial statement.
i.e.) exten =>
blah,blah,Dial(SIP/GS1&SIP/GS2&SIP/GS3&SIP/ata186a&SIP/ata186b,25,t)

If one of those lines is being used, then the user gets a really loud call
waiting beep, and on the ata186, also an inband callerid noise (perhaps
changeable on the ata186).

thanks for any info.

The loud call waiting noise from the GS is supposed to be resolved in 
the next firmware release.. Hopefully it will be out soon..

Later..

I am thinking of coding a solution using variables, Cut, and ChanIsAvail.
here is what i'm thinking of doing

Create a variable that contains the string  
"SIP/gs1&SIP/gs2&SIP/gs3" ...
etc
check each phone with ChanIsAvail, and use Cut to remove its representation
in the string (if its not avail)
then do a dial( variable )

If that doesn't work for some reason, i will try the patch.
Thanks for the info.

All,

I was just informed by someone that they can hear the call waiting beep
on my phone when I get a second call. Has anyone seen this before, and
is there a way to prevent it? I'm using a Cisco 7940 connected to an *
box, which is connected to a channel bank that terminates my POTS lines
(incase that makes any difference).

TIA,
Kenny
