asterisk users - Jan 2007 - Queues without music on hold ?

Hello List,

  This must be an easy one... I'd like to setup a queue
  without music on hold - just give the callers the traditional
  ringing tones.

  However, not setting the musiconhold parameter in
  queues.conf does not seem to do the trick: it defaults
  to "default" moh class which:

  a) Gets played if it exists
  b) Doesn't get played if it doesn't, but the caller still
       gets no ringing tones....

  Any ideas ?

  Thanks in advance, and kind regards,

Queue option r, like so:

Exten => s,1,Queue(somequeue|r)

Try 'show application queue' at the CLI

The easy answer is to use the "r" switch with Queue, still you may
want to
use a MOH that "fakes" a ringing tone in order to have audio messages
smoothly mixed in :)
