[Asterisk-bsd] hangup detection

[Brian Buhrow]

	Hello Jeff.  It looks like you define two contexts here, main and
timeout.  Is that your real intent?
	In terms of hangup detection, I'd try using loopstart.  That's the
most common, in the US, I think for standard analog POTS lines.

} ;
} [main]
} exten => s,1,Answer
} exten => s,2,DigitTimeout,3
} exten => s,3,ResponseTimeout,3
} exten => s,4,setvar(RETRIES=0)
} exten => s,5,BackGround(sgvi-welcome)
} 
} [timeout]
} exten => t,1,Playback(sgvi-tooper)
} exten => t,2,Macro(stdexten,220,SIP/dot) ; timeout goes to operator
} exten => i,1,setvar(RETRIES=$[${RETRIES} + 1])
} exten => i,2,gotoif($[${RETRIES} > 2]?20)
} exten => i,3,Playback(invalid)
} exten => i,4,Goto(s,5)
} exten => i,20,Playback(sgvi-tooper)
} exten => i,21,Macro(stdexten,220,SIP/dot) ; 3 tries goes to operator
} 
} I still think I have some kind of problem detecting hangups on the FXO
} ports.  Could this be my choice of kewlstart signalling?  Should I play
} with loop/ground start?  I expect what may happen now is that we will get
} blank voicemail messages in the operator mailbox :)
