[asterisk-gui] Follow Me

[Matt Sales]

Hey guys, I just tested the new Follow me function in the GUI and it seems
to work great but I'm having one small issue.  When someone calls me from
the outside or internally followme works great.  However, if someone calls
me from an extension on an IAX trunk they never hear the request to record
their name, therefore; followme times out and goes to my voicemail.  Is this
a bug in followme?  Any ideas?
