Hi All,

no - sorry if I wasn't clear.  I am looking for a solution that I can pick
up a headset,
dial a number into asterisk and connect to "whatever" - BUT before I can
actually "speak" I need to press a "real" button on the headset.
if I then release the button on the headset "no audio is passed" but the
call is still active.
To speak again - I need to "press the button" on the headset.

Like I mentioned. The fake PTT on polycom will not work.

This is for a government type end user. They wish to be having an internal
meeting and be able to announce something - but require a push to talk
button
to speak. Thus the meeting can continue with the button released, then they
can pause the meeting and push the button and speak more...
Something like that is my understanding.

I hope that helps,

Jerry
