Ok, this is probably a stupid question ;)

If I have a setup like the following:

One TDM400P with one FXO interface in slot 4.

zapata.conf chunk:

signalling=fxs_ks
language=en
context=in5100
channel => 4

extensions.conf chunk:

[in5100]
exten => s,1,Wait,2
exten => s,n,Answer
exten => s,n,DigitTimeout,5
exten => s,n,ResponseTimeout,10
exten => s,n(restart),BackGround(demo-congrats)
exten => s,n,WaitExten
exten => 401,1,Dial(SIP/sip1,20,tr)

///

I'm just playing demo-congrats so I can hear something when I call in
to know it's working.  What I would really like to have happen for
now is to ring the sip1 phone when the incoming line rings and only
answer the incoming line if the sip1 phone gets answered.

I've been playing with * for a while,
but this is my first zap device :)
[been all sip and iax til now]

Clues?
