[Asterisk-Dev] New app: app_page comments

[asterisk at ntplx.net]

Yes, thanks for the script! We also need channel variables like ALERT_INFO
so we can tell the phones to pickup the call for intercom use...

Is there a way to make it isolated full duplex to prevent feedback?
Meaning, the caller (pager) can speak to and hear all phones, but all
the other phones can only hear he pager and not each other, so it's
not a standard conference.

Also options for dial timeouts so phones that don't pickup quickly don't
keep rining.
