[Freeswitch-users] Emulate typical house phone/answering machine

[Andrew Cassidy]

here's how I'd do it:

   1. Store the incoming channel ID using db app
   2. Have an extension that you dial that reads the channel ID and invokes
   eavesdrop -OR- have an on-answer hook that originates a call to a phone
   with auto-answer set (and invokes eavesdrop) for a more traditional
   behaviour.
   3. Use bind keys to bind a key to intercept using the stored ID, forcing
   voicemail hangup and allowing the recipient to talk.

Logically sounds like it should work. I have not tested this though.
