[Asterisk-Users] Re: Asterisk-Users Digest, Vol 11, Issue 100

[Jason]

Jon, thanks for your help, but I'd rather not do it using agents and 
queues, ideally what would happen is it would simply play the message 
and wait for the person to press a button, if nothing is pressed, it 
just keeps going down the list. Any other suggestions?
