[asterisk-users] Anyone Know How to Have Asterisk Work LikeGranCentral and Require a Touch-Tone to Connect?

[Don Kelly]

As a matter of fact, I don't think that's the desired behavior!

You want to continue ringing everyone until the call is accepted...not just
answered.

>> GrandCentral has a feature where when you call the GrandCentral number it
can ring multiple phones.  However, it's not the first phone to answer that
gets connected, but the first phone to answer AND play a touch-tone after
hearing a recording.  The advantage of this is that if one of the called
phones has voicemail, it won't get connected to the calling party because
the VM won't send a touch tone in response to the recording, unlike a live
person.
