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

[Giorgio Incantalupo]

Hi C F,
I read the comments but the problem remains...after some tests, I 
changed some parameters inside zapata.h and recompiled to make flash 
button work so now my asterisk knows when the user presses the flash 
button /during a call./
My problem now is how to "transfer" the flash signal to the old PBX, 
infact seems like asterisk accept it (even if I cannot use it inside 
extensions.conf for example with a _FLASH,1,...) but then doesn't 
re-send it to the line.


TIA
