[Asterisk-Users] RE: Outgoing call to IVR not being "answered"

[David Harris]

Ok after find this post

l.  I have figured out my issue and I have refined my question.

Does anyone how to make asterisk tell the calling sip-ua that the remote
party "answered" the phone as soon as it sees rtp coming in even though
the remote IVR didn't "connect" the call.

I found a couple of remote IVRs that when I call them they don't
"connect" the call until the caller chooses an option via DTMF... but my
cisco phone won't send DTMF until asterisk tells it the call has been
answered

Its american express (800 327 2177) and american airlines (800 433
7300)... i think they are trying to save money by not connecting the
call.

Thanks,
David
