[asterisk-users] Asterisk forward call

[Dale Noll]

How about adding in a time check so that during certain hours Asterisk 
waits 8 seconds before answering, otherwise it answers right away.
You could also setup a status variable within the AstDB to indicate 
immediate answer or delayed answer.

Just some thoughts.
