How hard would it be to have asterisk detect a dial tone ?
I really can't say. I am not a "C" programmer, so I wouldn't even know
where to start.
Given that cheap dial up modems have, for the past ??20?? years, have
been able to do just that, I would think it should have been an early
consideration
For those 1% of users, the last time I tried, the insertion of a "w" had
no effect for pulse dialing either.
Well thanks to everyone who responded, and thanks to multiple w's I am back
in operation. I went off hook a bunch of times and the worst case seemed
to be 3 seconds to get a dial tone (which is pretty bad). It's hard to
google one letter, but I eventually found that each w is .5 seconds, so 7
w's were inserted to be safe. I also called Cox and griped but I doubt
that will do me any good.
I am a "C" programmer, but I don't know anything about the inards of
Asterisk. However, I would expect that dial tone detection would be a
function of the hardware, not the Asterisk software. The cheap modems do
this on board and export a simple command set. But I also don't know
anything about Digium's hardware either.
Thanks again! I really appreciate the help!
Jim
