<p class="MsoNormal">Hi.<br>
<br>
From the lack of response to my question, I'm assuming that either:<br>
<br>
a) putting a call on hold is not possible via AMI<br>
or<br>
b) everyone thinks it's so obvious that I should be able to see it for myself<br>
<br>
Can anyone confirm one way or the other?<br>
<br>
If it simply isn't possible, I'd like to put my efforts into exploring <br>
alternative solutions instead of spending more time on AMI.<o:p></o:p></p>
