[Asterisk-Users] flash button on asterisk + legacy pbx system

[Giorgio Incantalupo]

Hi C F,
you say Flash asterisk command send a flash signal to old pbx so that it 
sees that command as coming from an analog phone. But since Flash is not 
a digit, how can I catch it from within asterisk? How can I tell 
asterisk (es inside extensions.conf) to do something whene receive it 
from a phone?

TIA
