[asterisk-users] Answering machine answers after pickup a phone.

[Jorge Barreiro]

Hi again,

thanks for your answer, but it didn't solve the problem. That Dial command 
returns inmediately, so I don't even have the delay.

I'll try to explain myself better. The PBX has only one FXO card, connected to 
the PSTN. There is no other phones connected to the PBX nor SIP extensions. 
There are analog phones connected to the same PSTN.

What I try to do is that, when there is an incoming call from the ouside, if 
someone answers on a phone, then the PBX won't answer.


Thanks.
