You didn't provide information about your hardware or where you are located (different telephone systems use different signalling). I am having the same problem with a TDM400 and as best I can tell, I have to wait for improved software to detect when the phone is answered. Digital hardware should do what you want, and TDM400s may work in different circumstances than mine. Depending where you are you may see polarity reversal as a call progress indicator. There are config settings for that in zapata.conf. There is also a call progress setting that didn't work for me. Some people claim that problems can be caused by the phone company not providing a signal to you (sometimes called "forward disconnect") and that if you talk to them they may be able to turn it on for you. There is also an entry on voip-info.org where someone claims to have an app named nv_linedetect that will do call progress based on inband audio. The source hasn't been published and I haven't seen any recent references for anyone using it. It seems common for people to stick in a wait(2) to give people a chance to answer the phone. That isn't a real solution, but might make things not so bad. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
