[Asterisk-Users] How to avoid collect calls on ISDN BRI trunks?

[Dhennys Pestana]

Hello, Armin!
Flash() should issue a flash for a few milliseconds, just like flash button on
some analog phones.
As far as I know (based on Google and AsteriskBrasil.org search), it works only
on ZAP channels for now.
I found out Flash() runs smoothly on analog channels when receiving calls with
FXO interfaces (like Intel537 modems).
I'm not an ISDN expert, but if there's any way to add this feature to the CAPI
level I'm pretty sure most ISDN users would love it. :)
Thanks in advance,
-Dhennys

Yes, because Hangup() means 'disconnect'.

I'm not aware of Flash() and what it is doing, but it is surely not
implemented in chan_capi.
If someone can tell me what Flash() is supposed to do, we can implement it
in chan_capi-cm.
