[Asterisk-Users] Not answering PSTN until SIP answers

[Stuart Elvish]

Dear Remco,

It now works for me with several SIP devices in a ring group without 
answering until one of them answers. I think (from memory) that this is 
the code that you need:

In extensions.conf setup a virtual phone like this
PHONES4=SIP/102&SIP/103&SIP/104
and define the voicemail box if required, for example a communal 
voicemail box 1
PHONES4VM=1

Then in your incoming caller context, DO NOT put Answer, the first 
priority should be Dial
exten => s,1,Dial(${PHONES1},40,tr)
exten => s,2,Macro(vmessage,${PHONES1VM})
exten => s,3,Hangup

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards
Stuart
