[Asterisk-Users] Making Asterisk NOT Pickup a Line when Ringing?

[Nathan Pralle]

Strange, Matt.  I have this setup here at home and I just have a [pstn] 
context for incoming on the landline; it looks like this:

[pstn]
exten => s,1,Wait(30)

And that's it.  The landline answering machine picks it up before the 30 
seconds are up, so Asterisk never gets the call.  Now...mind you, it 
WILL do a CLID lookup as soon as it rings, and that's handy.  My context 
actually looks like:

[pstn]
exten => s,1,agi,calldb_handle|${CALLERIDNAME}|${CALLERIDNUM}|${UNIQUEID}
exten => s,2,agi,call_notify|${CALLERIDNAME}|${CALLERIDNUM}|landline
exten => s,3,Wait(30)

This actually gets the callerid, does some database work with it, 
notifies me via AIM that I have an incoming call and from whom, and then 
waits.  But it works the same as above.
