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

[Steve Totaro]

I am not totally familiar with FreePBX and ring groups with the
confirmation option but I do not believe the call is answered
(bridged) until the # key is pressed, therefore it is desired behavior
as the other phones will continue to ring.

I may be wrong, like I said.  Maybe someone can clarify this.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro
