[VoIP] Can this be done?

[Ian Jolly]

Here's one for the Asterisk experts:

Is it possible to signal a distant extension without involving a calling extension?

Specifically, I would like to make a one second "attempted" call to an E&M port.  This would cause the E lead to momentarily go "active."  By doing it as part of a context, I tie up the incoming channel for about five seconds before I can connect it to the channel I *really* want to connect it to.

Ideally, I would like to call a routine to produce a quick operation of a distant E lead without getting any other channel involved.

Does it sound possible?
