Why not use a call queue instead? /Ola Lidholm olal@plea.se "Whatever one man is capable of conceiving, other men are able to achieve." - Jules Verne.

'F' -- Pass DTMF through the conference. DTMF used to activate any conference features will not be passed through. -- Russell Bryant Software Engineer Digium, Inc.

As long as everything is SIP you should be just fine (I think I read somewhere that IAX doesn't have call pick up). Not sure if the Local/ringforever is written quite right, but you get the idea here. Good luck, Trev
