[Asterisk-Users] zap FXO channel - wait for N seconds before answer

[Dr. Matthew Roller]

Is there a way to make Asterisk wait 3 rings to answer the phone, and
only answer if someone in the house does not?

I just got an idea, perhaps I could set it to answer immediately, and
play a ringing sound, and ring the house phones, then if someone
answers they answer, and if they do not, then it can go into the
voicemail, or call tree.

Would that work?
