Hi there, I've got the following code (for remote enquiry of the answering machine) in my dialplan: [mailbox] exten => m,1,Set(TIMEOUT(digit)=4) exten => m,2,Set(TIMEOUT(response)=0) exten => m,3,Set(LANGUAGE()=de) exten => m,4,Read(Pin,unavail,4) exten => m,5,capicommand(echosquelch|no) exten => m,6,Gotoif($["${Pin}" = "${MBPIN}"]?7:9) exten => m,7,VoicemailMain(9613876 at default|s) exten => m,8,Hangup exten => m,9,Voicemail(9613876 at default|s) exten => m,10,Hangup exten => t,11,Voicemail(9613876 at default|s) exten => t,12,Hangup While this used to work fine in Asterisk 1.2.x from debian stable (etch) it does not work as expected with Asterisk 1.4 from Debian testing (lenny) anymore. There is some strange delay between the the End of the Read command and the point where 'beep' is going to get played. Whats going on in this case with 1.4?
