Can Asterisk be configured to hang up if another phone picks up?
I'm a bit lost as far as terminology goes, but here's my setup. At
home, I have asterisk answering calls from the pstn and sending them
through to a sip extension or voicemail. All that is working fine.

Short answer - no.
Leave the box on 24/7, and run the POTS phone through an ATA, or another
SIP phone.
If power consumption and wear and tear is a consideration, use AstLinux
on a thin client, and reduce your power consumption to under 30 Watts.

An exclusion adapter is overkill. My Asterisk line card is the $10 Win
modem card that I got from ebay.
When you call my copper line, two devices see the inbound ringer:
1. The Uniden 5.8Ghz cordless phone base station that answers 95% of the
calls
2. Asterisk with a win modem line card that:
Shorter answer is yes :-).
This is exactly how mine runs. The secret is that the copper interface
will ring a SIP extension but just exit from the dialplan on noanswer.
[main-copper]
exten = s,1,Dial(SIP/22,69)
and then nothing in my case.
Generally my wife answers using a cordless phone set

I get how everything is connected with your setup, but if you pick up
the cordless phone to answer a call does the sip extension just keep
ringing until it times out?
I like the exclusion adapter idea because it sounds like it would let
me keep my dialplan intact. But I do take John and

If you don't have an objection to 24/7 then that is by far the best way,
just get some fxs ports and each POTS phone can have it's own extension if
you want.
Certainly the way to go if there is no reason stopping you.

The box running Asterisk isn't on 24/7 so I have a secondary phone
connected to the line as well. If Asterisk is not running, I can
answer an incoming call from that phone. If asterisk is running, I can
answer the call from a sip extension.
Can I have it both ways? Can Asterisk back off if
Just a little clarification for people refering to Asterisk as a PBX

That's right, they say it is a PBX because it is mostly used as such, but
it is more than just a PBX. Some people use it as a VoiceMail tool or to
handle just conference, some use it to add functionalities to other legacy
PBX systems. Calling cards applications for example, a plain PBX wont be
Yeah, except in the OP he mentions that he wants or is at least using
Asterisk VM so your solution does not meet his needs.
Ah, yes. My config would not allow Asterisk to be a part time voicemail
destination. In my config, the POTS line has its own voicemail (it is
actually a Comcast line

Actually no, the SIP extension stops ringing and Asterisk takes no further
action.
