I am having a problem with Polycom auto-answer. I have the auto-answer working between PhoneA and PhoneB, but when I try to use the intercom between more then one phone I start having problems. PhoneA dials *3 which calls PhoneB, PhoneC, and PhoneD. All the phones ring, but only one will pick up, the rest will hang up and I get this error on Asterisk: Got SIP response 500 "Internal Server Error".

What did you think was going to happen, Asterisk was going to magically bridge four phones together because they all answered? As soon as one phone answers, the call is complete and the remaining phones will not be able to answer (because the calls going out to them will have been destroyed). If you need more than two parties in a call, you need to use MeetMe or one of the other conferencing applications.
That's kind of what I thought, but I am trying to put together a phone to multi-phone paging system. I all ready have and overhead paging systems, but the powers-at-be want a phone paging system. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin P.

You can see it here: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2004-March/040186.html It throws all the phones into a meetme room.
That worked great. -----Original Message----- From: B. J.

Yes they do, but you can use the dialplan as an example to setup a global phone page. That is all I was pointing out. B.

J.Polycom has a much better way to do auto-answer using SIP_INFO. My sample configs have both a AutoAnswer and a Ring_Answer (for intercom): http://www.kriscompanies.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&ci d=1 -- Kristian Kielhofner
