[Asterisk-Users] Legacy PBX integration

[Lacy Moore - Aspendora]

Also, what is the legacy PBX?  On the Merlin Legend, for instance, there are
special Class of Services that can be setup to go straight to the auto
attendant.  I'm not sure if that's what you need or not.  The other question
is, why can't you transfer the call straight to the extension the fax is
on?  Again, on the Legend, it defaults (I guess) to receving the extension
number.  For example, if my fax machine is located on ext. 170, then I just
dial 170 from Asterisk on the PRI that is connected to the Legend.  I didn't
have to do half of what the manual says you have to do, because Asterisk
takes care of all the translations.
