Hi all.<br />
<br />
I have a customer who does some automatic messaging. Back when we were running Asterisk 1.4.x, they used waitforsilence after amd, to wait for an answering machine greeting to finish before leaving their message. We've upgraded to 1.6, and made no other changes and things don't work.<br />
<br />
What we're seeing it that a call will get hung up, waiting for silence, well after any sane greeting message would have finished. Up to an hour!<br />
<br />
I understand that waitforsilence take a 3rd parameter as a timeout, but all that seems to do for us is keep a channel from staying up for over, say, 5 minutes. We'd like to be able to start our message as soon as the greeting is done. <br />
<br />
Any suggestions?<br />
<br />
TIA,<br /><hr style="border:dotted 1px silver; width:90%; border:dotted 1px silver;"><br />
Take care and have fun,<br />
