Answer<br>
<br>
The problem with what is in wiki is that these calls are being sent to a<br>
queue. There is no way to have the queue dial the preceding digit that I can<br>
think of that would trigger this. In the example shown he has an 8 dialed<br>
before the extension. How would I get Asterisk to dial an 8 before sending<br>
the call to the logged in agent in the queue?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

My Polycom phones support auto-answer. This link should get you started.<br>
