Review request for Asterisk Developers.


Changes
-------

Added suggested changes from Matt Jordan and rmudgett.


Bugs: ASTERISK-24372
    https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-24372


Repository: Asterisk


Description
-------

This patch adds the ability to configure a prompt which will be read to the "winner" who pressed 1 (or the configured value) and received the call.

The context of this is that I have users who only receive outbound follow-me calls occasionally. These users have complained that when they are connected to the inbound caller, they don't always remember to say hello as if the call just arrived, so there is an awkward moment where the two parties figure out they are connected.

My prompt here says "Connecting. After the beep, please say hello to the caller. <beep>." This reminds the follow-me winner that they ought to say hello.

I have configured this with a default of silence/0 so that the system's behavior will not change for anyone who does not have this configured.

Testing
-------

I have been running this in production for about three years with no issues. I have not done any sort of regression testing against other Asterisk features or in configurations other than my own production server.


Thanks,

Graham Mainwaring
