asterisk users - Mar 2004 - Asterisk PLAR?

Hello-

I asked this question a LONG time ago (when I
first got started with *), but seem to have lost
the answer in between my multiple Windows XP
"repairs".

Has anyone experimented with or achieved PLAR
(private line auto ringdown) capability with
asterisk?


thx,
cedrick

Its fairly easy if you're using zaptel hardware.  Example:

zapata.conf

signalling=fxo_ks
immediate=yes
context=plar
channel=> 1


In extensions.conf

[plar]
exten =>s,1,Dial(Zap/2)


So if you pick up the phone on Zap channel 1 (in this case, the first port
on a TDM400P), it immediately starts ringing Zap channel 2 (the second
port).
