[asterisk-users] Asterisk as answering machine

[Ron Wheeler]

I have connected a PSTN line to a Digium FXO card.
There is also an ordinary analogue phone attached to the same line.

The Asterisk answers the line on the first ring.

I would like it to wait for a few seconds so that someone can answer the 
PSTN line with an analogue phone.
This would allow a person to directly pick up the line if they wanted to 
or if not, let it go to the Asterisk where it would be dispatched 
through the normal process.

Currently, as soon as the analogue phone rings, the Asterisk PBX has 
already answered the call and starts the "You have reached..... Dial 
...." and tries to dispatch the call.

This makes it hard to carry on a conversation.
