I'm under the impression that *8 picks up any ringing phone in the same 
group... Not sure why youre dialling an extension number after it... I may 
be wrong though - I've never used it!

I'd guess that asterisk isn't hearing the tones of the password?

Start with putting

    dtmfmode=rfc2833

in your sip.conf file, and making that setting on the GPX2000 phone 
itself (on the account page)
