Transfers etc. Check their US distributors. These Phones are sold on
Ebay.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=754560420-25102004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am looking for a
hardware solution which will allow a phone to open a connection (initiate a
call) into the asterisk phone system without any interaction from the phone
operator.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=754560420-25102004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some of the ideas

<DIV><SPAN class=754560420-25102004><FONT face=Arial size=2>
Get a VoIP phone with autoanswer and have asterisk dial the phone and the
phone automatically picks up.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=754560420-25102004> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>Get a Analog Phone with an ATA adapter that does the same
thing</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=754560420-25102004> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>Plug a headset directly into an FXS port on the asterisk box and then
do not provide dial tone from the FXS (is this even
possible)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=754560420-25102004><FONT face=Arial

automatically login to a queue all the time (24/7) any time it is rebooted or
disconnected from a call.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=754560420-25102004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any
suggestions? How has anyone done this in the past where the operator
never touches the phone itself just has a headset?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
