Re: [sendpage-devel] Sendpage Dialing Problems

[Walt W. <wd...@gm...>]

Is there any method that could be added in the debug logs that would
indicate if the phone line were not answered by another computer? i.e
Someone puts in a direct pager number and an auto-attendant answers. That
way it would be much easier to notice if the paging center number is not
used.

Thanks,

Walt
