I have looked through tons of wiki etc and still have not found an working answer for this. Does Asterisk support call waiting on a PSTN line(through an X100P card). I hear the beep but I can't get it to flash to the other line. Anyone with a wokring configuration, PLEASE, send it along.

For my home Asterisk server, what I did instead was drop call waiting and add call forward when busy. I then signed up with NuFone and got an 800 number that costs me $0.02/minute. I then set up call-forward-when-busy to point to the 800 number. Result: when a second caller calls, they get forwarded to the 800 number, and then that connects directly to Asterisk. I can then either answer the call or let it go to voicemail. In essence, it works just like having a second physical phone line, except I'm only paying $2/month or so for overflow calls, rather then $30. Assuming that you're in Canada, you might have a hard time finding a similar service, but the basic concept is sound. Scott
I have never been able to make this work. Even setting the parameter "callwaiting=yes" in zapata.conf only alerts me that another call is waiting but I can't seem to hook-flash the FXO port. If you figure out how to make this work please let me know. _____ From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Martin Keding Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 11:24 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Calling Waiting on PSTN line I have looked through tons of wiki etc and still have not found an working answer for this.
