[Asterisk-Users] flash button on asterisk + legacy pbx system

[C F]

Sorry I didn't realize this is how you wanted it to work - that the
user is on a FXS and you want when the user flashes that it flashes
the host pbx.
I disagree with you on this setup the user should be requried to press
some DTMF and not just flash the phone. The main reason being that
otherwise you will lose 3way and callwaiting features on asterisk. I'm
assuming your answer to this is that you don't care since you just
want to make the phone an extended extension on the host PBX, and want
it to be as much an extension of the old PBX as posible. I still
disagree because as much as you are going to try, your users will
still not see this as a direct extension, and sooner or later you/they
will have to learn how to deal with it anyhow.
