[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Manager API - multi "Originate" cal ls

[Thomas Miller]

Hi Matt, in your experience is there a 100% reliable
way to know that the callee phone is ringing? In my
situation I don't need to know if they pick up or not,
I need to know (as reliably as possible) if the calee
phone number is ringing.

Thanks, Tom
