More difficult is the problem of knowing when the remote end has gone

need to infer that the remote has gone away.



I understand that the phone company (sometime) doesn't provide information about remote hangup on POTS lines. What bugs me is the simple question - how does your average 10$ answering machine detects the hang up?

I'm guessing the obvious - DSP and some heuristics as to what a "hangup" sounds like and it sounds to me that it isn't all that hard to do in Asterisk (since it's done in those cheap machines) but I would be very glad to hear some tips from someone that knows a little better then me.

Thanks,
