No, it will dial like a pass-through simultaneously to sip/iax
extensions.  If you were to dial out to an analog port though, that
would be different.

So in essence, you can have all the phones ringing at the same time.

How does doing only that prevent Asterisk from picking up the POTS line
for a period of time (like 3 or 4 rings... or 10 seconds or so to give a
handset on the same POTS line an opportunity to pick it up first --
think answering machine)?  As I understand it removing the Wait and
Answer would cause Asterisk to pick the POTS line up right away and dial
brian and joe's phones with it.

Am I missing something?

Right.  As I thought.

Right.  My original question was about making Asterisk wait a number or
rings (or amount of time) before picking up a Zap line.  If the
rings/time were not reached while the line is still ringing, do nothing.

This allows a handset *on the same POTS line* as Asterisk to pick up and
Asterisk does nothing.  But if nobody picks up the POTS line (that
asterisk is on too) then it picks up.

I essentially want Asterisk to be an answering machine on the line.
