And there seems to be no willingness to either fix or even consider it a bug. I'm not sure how I'm going to listen in, either. The only thing I can think of is making myself a "lineman's handset" out of an old phone and plugging into the phone box outside. Not sure why you need to "go outside" to listen in. a simple 268 style "t" adapter for modular plugs would do. I assume you are in the US . I'm worried that plugging the FXO jack into the ComDial system would fry something, Can't imagine what. The FXO card in it's simplest form, the X100P is a recycled modem card using a specific chip set. How would you use a Comdial system to monitor anyway? and that's the only other way I can think of to listen in, aside from maybe running the line through a fax machine. You will want to be able to listen without starting dialtone. Any old telephone butt set or even a cheap battery powered transistor amplifier  would do as well. Unless there's some software that does it. On the dialtone detection end of things, http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=NVLineDetect does seem to be available, but that would require me modifying emailing the guy and either going with cvs or modifying the gentoo ebuild I'm using (bleh). If that will give you dialtone detection, that's probably what you will have to do then! What is NANP?

Some versions will allow a "w" to wait 1/2 second before starting to dial, bur it doesn't always work, and there seems to be little interest in detecting dialtone before dialing. The NANP was SUPPOSED to require 7/10 digit local and 11 digit toll dialing, but since that is now a state by state determination, there is little "plan" left in the NANP John Novack
