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

touches the phone itself just has a headset?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
