</blockquote><div><br>Actually no, the SIP extension stops ringing and Asterisk takes no further action.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I like the exclusion adapter idea because it sounds like it would let<br>
me keep my dialplan intact. But I do take John and Trevor's point<br>
about putting everything through asterisk and running it 24/7. It<br>
would make things a lot simpler.<br><div><div class="h5"></div></div></blockquote><div><br>A 24/7 box is great as long as you have some runtime on batteries to smooth out the occasional power failures and have a separate box to tinker with. If you are the only person expecting calls on that line, then a predictable result is less critical. (ie: Asterisk/voicemail is off and you don't answer and no other voicemail -> ring no answer)<br>
