First of all, congratulations on convincing your government into letting you make outbound autopatch calls to your local PSTN. In honor or this occasion, I have added a new parameter (the 'patchconnect' parameter in the rpt.conf clause for each node) to specify a sound file that is played both on the air and over the tele when the called party answers, in order to address the regulatory issues involved with this in your country. Its implemented in app_rpt version 0.250 which will be available on the SVN server in about 1/2 hour from now. You know, even though its not a requirement here in the USA, its not a bad idea to use this feature to avoid potential embarrassment and/or potentially jeopardizing ones license. Just a thought...
