How does doing only that prevent Asterisk from picking up the POTS line
for a period of time (like 3 or 4 rings... or 10 seconds or so to give a
handset on the same POTS line an opportunity to pick it up first --
think answering machine)?  As I understand it removing the Wait and
Answer would cause Asterisk to pick the POTS line up right away and dial
brian and joe's phones with it.

Am I missing something?
