[Asterisk-Users] Wait(n) -v- Background(silence/n) ?

[Sergey Kuznetsov]

In my AGI script I made the next trick:

    $digit = $AGI->get_data("vm-enter-num-to-call-then-pound", 15000, 1);

    while ( $digit eq 0 or $digit )
    {
        $phoneNum .= $digit;
        $digit = $AGI->get_data("empty", 7000, 1);
    }

where file empty.gsm have 0 byte length.

It works like a charm for me.


All the Best!
Sergey.
