[Asterisk-Users] Disable flash hook hold?

I'm assuming you mean zapata.conf not sip.conf. These settings do not 
affect sip clients.
The sip client manages its own flash settings, not asterisk. Also, when 
you modify the
zapata.conf file you must shutdown and restart asterisk for the changes 
to be recognized.

I have the following settings in my zapata.conf and it works fine for me.

[channels]
callwaiting=no
callwaitingcallerid=no
threewaycalling=no
transfer=no
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
echotraining=yes

rxflash=50

The rxflash setting is to shorten the length of time the on-hook button
needs to be depressed before a hangup is registered.
