And 5 seconds after I hungup my BT line, then VoIP call ended. Tried it twice now - same results. The calling phone is ended inside about 5 seconds of the analogue line hanging up. (It's on a TDM400) And just in-case it was some weird interaction between the outgoing (voip) call and incoming analogur cal lon the same asterisk box, I've just tried it with a totally indepedant VoIP outgoing path - same results. I place an outgoing call via VoIP to my home BT line - answer it (via a phone connected to my asterisk PBX connected to the analogue line via a TDM400), hang that call up, then 5 seconds later the VoIP call is terrinated. I do remember that I used to use this to 'transfer' calls from one phone to another - someone would phone me at my last house, I'd just hang up, then find another phone and pick it up, but I also remember someone doing this to me just a few weeks ago - they hung up and my call cleared and I had to re-dial. > I am not sure what the difference is when you order the line and tell > about PABX, however it seems to me that if I now asked to set up my > existing line for PABX, they might say that this is not a business line, > therefore they can't help, mightn't they?
