[Asterisk-Users] Re: delaying "answer" for a number of ringsor an amount of time

No, it will dial like a pass-through simultaneously to sip/iax
extensions.  If you were to dial out to an analog port though, that
would be different.

So in essence, you can have all the phones ringing at the same time.

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?
