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

[Robert DeVries]

This does not do the trick, because while the voice path is not created
until the digit 1 is dialed, when the first extension picks up the others
stop ringing.  What is needed is something where all extensions continue
ringing until the digit is dialed.
