[Asterisk-Users] Integrating cell phone into Asterisk Extension..

[John Morris]

Thanks for the reply!

I understand why the X100P can't detect pickup.  Too
bad!

Is there any way to implement either of the following
solutions:

1)  Ring office extensions (${DESK}, TDM400Ps)
simultaneously with ${CELL}.  If ${DESK} picks up
first, we hang up on ${CELL} and everything's great. 
If ${CELL} picks up and a '#' is heard, we hang up
${DESK}, and everything's great.  Otherwise, after 20
seconds, we go to voicmail.

If that's too far out, how about this:

2)  Ring office extensions ${DESK}; if no pickup after
20 seconds, hangup and ring ${CELL}.  If ${CELL} is
picked up and a '#' is heard, everything's good.  If
no '#' is heard after 20 seconds, hang up ${CELL} and
go to voicemail.

Thanks again for the help!  Asterisk is changing my
phones from being a headache to being a pleasure.  :)
