[asterisk-dev] [feature requests]: 'zap answer confirmation info' and 'different clis on forking'

[Matthew Fredrickson]

Confirmation info is available on Zap channels with signaling protocols  
that support it (such as ISDN, E&M, and a few others).  Loopstart and  
kewlstart (FXO and FXS) do not support answer confirmation (although  
sometimes it is signaled by a polarity reversal or somethign similar).   
You probably are probably using zap analogue lines without answer  
supervision.
