[asterisk-dev] Another dial-option, catching hangup of caller party

[Steve Totaro]

Johan,

I just wanted to say good job.

You are one of the reasons why Asterisk and open source software is so

You wanted Asterisk to do something that it did not.  You posted about
it, no replies, so you made it happen and gave back in a weeks time.

Bravo.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro
