[Asterisk-Users] Upgrading to 1.x from 0.7 on Linux

[Jim Archer]

Thanks Walt, that's great!

You just remindedme about something, although I don't know why.  When I
first set this up, I wanted Asterisk to detect distinctive ring patterns
and only answer a particular pattern, so that I could share a fax line. 
At the time, it was not possible.  Has this changed?  Will new hardware do
this?

Thanks!
