[sudo-discuss] VoiP ATA for Omni Payphone

Does anyone know whether the Cisco model 186 (or 188) VoIP ATA can do "autodial" so that we can have the payphone immediately give a voice prompt menu when people pick up the handset? We can get a Cisco 186 for $15 on ebay: www.ebay.com/itm/Cisco-ATA-186-ATA186-Product-ID-ATA186-I1-A-/301900913722 Or does anyone have a VoiP ATA that can do that? We have an asterisk system and we need a working ATA that can do that for the payphone outside of Omni. We need to set up the payphone instead of the doorbell, so that we can talk to whomever is at the door rather than just opening the door, in case it's the cops or building inspectors or whatever. you may have heard that the Temescal BID and OPD have openly declared their intention to "shut down the Omni" so I feel like it's time to start working on our front-door access stuff again. Here's a page I found about auto-dial but i don't know if it applies to asterisk: https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/9480536/autodial-phone-number-an…
