<br> Is this not the case? I agree with the reply which said that you want to<br>use DISA, the only problem with DISA is that you have no way to use the line<br>for answering regular calls. Once you put the DISA command in the dialplan,
<br>you get the DISA dialtone for entering you code. I suppose if you know where<br>you will be calling from, you could code in a specific dialplan based on your<br>callerid info, but that just seems kind of tedious just for being about to
