Hey... I really appreciate you guys adding call screening. Great feature that now was the last straw to get my company to move to trixbox... I have two personal running installs so I am already a convert.

But there is one feature that we have on our company's phone system call screening: the ability to choose to listen to the caller leave a message and then flash pickup in the middle opf their message.

It works like this:
1) caller calls in and is asked for their name
2) recipient is asked "press 1 to answer, press 2 to send to voice mail, press 3 to send to voicemail and monitor."

It sounds like a small feature but we use it everyday like an old style answering machine where you get to listen to what they have to say before picking up.

Any idea how hard this would be?

Thanks!

Dave

I don't think you can "barge

I don't think you can "barge in" on the voicemail calls. Anyone else care to chime in?

Ah good ol' voicemail

Ah good ol' voicemail screening. I've been waiting for someone to put up for that project. I mapped it out about six months ago, but the project never gained traction. If you are interested, please start a bounty. I would love to tackle this one.
