MeetMe() provides very useful tones when a caller is added to a MeetMe
room. That is, if you're using the musiconhold option, the agent would
hear music, immediately followed by two tones, and then they would be
bridged to the client.

Perhaps you're running MeetMe() with those join tones disabled? Check
out the docs for MeetMe. I think it's option capital i, as in Iberia.

I have the same problem and wish as the original poster, but couldn't find
any information about this. The M option for meetme (play musiconhold)
doesn't seem to have any switches to change MOH class. I've also checked
voip-info.org variable list to see if there was any variable I could set
before entering the meetme, but nothing there either from what I could find
:(

Does anyone have a solution to this, other than to replace the sound files
in the default MOH directory?

Thanks,
Best regards,
Tobias
