Interesting..... thanks. I'm on PEI. 902-892-1204 but I'm not full time right now. You can leave a message. From the thread, it looks like there is a patch for the wcfxo.c code that may fix the problem. Do you think I should try that or put an oscilloscope on the line first and see what the ring voltage is like? Maybe I'll take the spare card home and see what it does. If it is a single polarity ring voltage, I will have to install all of the Asterisk source first since its Trixbox that's supposed to answer the line.
