Hi, We are trying to integrate Asterisk in front of our existing legacy PBX: outside line -- FXO -- Asterisk PC -- FXS -- PBX -- Extensions Asterisk answers outside calls and the IVR asks the user to dial extension #. The problem is, that when Asterisk forwards calls from the outside line to the old PBX (using DIAL()) the PBX answers, and as far as * is concerned, the call is answered. Asterisk then dials the extension number, but even if the extension is busy or no one answers, the call is answered as far as * is concerned. We want Asterisk to: -DIAL the PBX -wait for the PBX to answer -dial extension number -If there is no answer at this extension start voicemail. Any ideas? How can we detect when an extension is busy/no answer AFTER PBX already answered the call? Thanks, Kupchinetsky Dmitry
