superb! this is working great! feeling a bit sheepish now ;-) but this
is very nice, doesn't even break my cdr's too much. don't want make
excuses here, i simply missed this possibility, thanks for pointing
me to this :-)

nope, i did my homework here and read the dial-command doc over and
over again and i've tried both the announce- as well as the
macro-option, both do not work with the "answer confirmation" as the
zap-channel is not bridged unless the pound is pressed, after pressing
'#', the announce is played respectively the macro started, not before.
Regarding the 'p'-option, don't know how this could help me here. This
starts the PrivacyManager-app as far as i've understood, which asks the
caller for his callerid in case it is not provided. Did i miss
something?
