[asterisk-users] Using MSAccess to dial on a Zap line

[Martin Smith]

We're really happy with SIP Tapi:

We've been trying to document our setup at:
http://projects.bebr.ufl.edu/wiki/AsteriskTAPI

We like it as it requires no manager interface (it uses SIP Refer) to be
turned on. It can be a little awkward with voicemail if you use it to
call yourself, but you can pick one extension that will call everyone.

Unfortunately, we haven't found a way around this either, except to have
autoanswer on the phone. Some phones could probably be configured to
autoanswer for some callerids or lines, but if you find anything else
interesting about this or non-ringing auto-dialing, I'd be curious to
hear as well!
