asterisk users - Jun 2006 - rollover simulation

I am trying to perform a "rollover" when the primary number is busy.
This is
coming from a POTS line. Apparently I need call waiting on the POTS line as
I get immediate busy from the FXS if I don't have it. So my question is
this. I have an Aastra 480I CT. The call forward when busy here seems pretty
straight forward. Choose the mode as busy enter the extension in the forward
number (which points to another successfully registered line on the same
phone) and number of rings 1 (although I have tried 2 and 3). This setting
is on the line but I have tried global as well also.

 

Any clues?

 

Thanks

 

Curt

Call Waiting will not allow you to simulate rollover because the second incoming
call will simply beep on the current call on that POTS line.  As far as I
know, Asterisk has no way of picking that call up independently of the first
call.

You will need to go all VoIP, or get a second POTS line to do this.  A
PSTN POTS line can only handle one call at a time.

Another solution is to keep the POTS line and do call-forward-on-busy
to a VoIP line, which will then give you unlimited inbound.
