once a connection is established to the server, you could have
exten => t,1,Goto(yourIVR)
or similar. But that depends on the phone making a connection to * as soon
as the handset is lifted. The xten softphone (currently my only SIP device
:( ) doesn't actually connect to the SIP server until you push the call
button. I guess that if a hardware phone actually connects immediately,
then you could probably make the timeout extension work. Maybe you can
adjust the timeout length with
exten => s,1,DigitTimeout(5)
or something similar. ResponseTimeout might work for that too.. I'm just
guessing, though.. I had an idea but no hardware to test on.
