[Asterisk-Users] answer supervision and POTS

[Jason D. Wolfe]

Hello,

I'm new to asterisk and creating a demonstration of what it can do to
satisfy a request by a client.  When I build out the real thing, we'll use
PRI, but for a demo I have two POTS lines and a TDM400.  I've never worked
with POTS lines, and have learned that there is no way to get answer
supervision on analog lines.  I'm a little confued with this because it
seemed to work about 30% of the time (my script fired when the call was
actually answered, using callprogress=yes).  Can someone direct me to
resources to learn more about this?  is it true that this will be a
non-issue when I move to PRI? Is there an acceptable workaround for this
problem?  Someone suggested using the -r flag with Dial(), is this really
appropriate?

Thanks for ANY help.
