Hey all, I am using the "c" option when transferring to a zap channel to wait for a # before connecting the calling party. It works as advertised, however I would like to play a prompt to the called party. (ie Please press # to accept this call) http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0002356 seems to be related. Anyone know what the status is? Or of there is a workaround of some sort? Thanks, Chris
It has all gone very quiet - I still need this...I spent a fair bit of time looking at it but never got it to work. Needs someone with a bit more of an understanding of Asterisk's architecture really. Also, it should really go in app_dial so as to make it applicable across all channel types. Any volunteers?

No - this plays the message AFTER the # is pressed, not before.... -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Chad Scott Sent: 15 October 2004 16:29 To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Zap Channel wait for # Does the option A(filename) not work for you?

When they first answer the call they only get silence... I have a "find me" routine that I use but I forward the call with the original caller ID. There are two reasons why I want to use this option... One is to let the called party know that this call is coming via asterisk and the other is to prevent voicemail from grabbing the call before I have a chance to pull it back and move on to the next step. ~c
