asterisk users - Feb 2007 - Answer() command?

hi,
is there anyway to Answer() the caller channel after the called number
pickedup the phone.
when an outside caller calls * system just continue ringing and not pick up
the line and just dial an extension and then answer the caller channel after
the called extension picked up the phone.
is this possible in *?

something like this:

[incoming]
exten => s,1,NoOp()
exten => s,n,Dial(SIP/120)

i've done this but when 120 extension picks up the phone just a noise will
be heard and call won't be bridged to caller channel.

i have also used Dial(SIP/120|M(answerme)) which runs a macro with Answer()
command when called party picksup but it just re-answers the called
extension!!

thanks

I think, this can be solved using phone autoanswer feature, look at wiki...

  exten => s,1,SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: info=alert-autoanswer)
  exten => s,2,Dial(SIP/myphone)
