[Asterisk-Users] Attack dialing

[Matt]

I think I've got something whipped up with the queue... however, it
would be nice to not have to pick the phone up when it rings, but
rather have asterisk just queue as you speak of.. and connect the call
to your handset, already off-hook.. is there a way to do that?
