So, I've got an analog fax/answering machine connected to an FXS port on a TDM400p card, and everything is fine as long as I answer the phone manually. If, however, I let the answering machine pick it up, it hangs up a few seconds into playing the greeting. Don't ask why I want to use this analog machine instead of the voicemail app- it's a long and dull story. But I can't figure out why it's hanging up... any thoughts? Thanks, +j

[Asterisk-Users] Analog answering machine hangs up early
Sounds like the asterisk system is not sourcing enough line current on the FXS port, and the answering machine may think the line has hung up. This is what the answering machine is supposed to do, for example, when someone picks up another phone on the same line. Regards Scott Scott M. Stingel President, Emerging Voice Technology, Inc.
