asterisk users - Feb 2007 - Paging Followup

Hello All,

Hoping all of you might have an additional option for me to try at this
point. :)

My Goal:
To have a paging option that does the following.... When I press **_XXXX
it will send a ring-answer page to that person. The person on the other
end should be muted, so if they are in a conference, you can't hear what
is going on in the meeting. If that person hears me and decides they
want to talk to me, they can press *1 (or something similar).

My Problems:
Paging solves the first part of my issue (muted meetme) and I have the
Ring-Answer part working great. However, I can't get it to accept *1 or
anything like that to accept the call and talk.

I've Tried:
I've tried using Dial and Page commands to make this work. I noticed the
options that are sent with the page command (it generates a Meetme for
both ends of the call). I think I could just add a "s" to the meetme
options. I believe I should be able to do 2 meetme commands. One for me,
and one for the person I am paging, and we will connect to the same
conference.

But short of creating a call file, is this possible?

Any thoughts?
Rob

Look in the list archives, I have posted a solution a while back. It
involves changing the source and recompling.
