asterisk users - Oct 2003 - Making PrivacyManager smarter?

I'm having a problem with Asterisk picking up the Zap/1 and thinking its 
a new call when instead I've already been on the phone talking to a 
person. This is not my ideal setup and currently I have just an FXO card 
and Asterisk is in parallel with my phone system instead of being in the 
front. I'm not sure if the problem would be fixed by adding an FXS card 
and putting my phones on to that or not.

This is what is happening while I'm on the phone. For some reason 
Asterisk all of a sudden things a new call has come in.

    -- Starting simple switch on 'Zap/1-1'
WARNING[524305]: File chan_zap.c, Line 4360 (ss_thread): CallerID 
returned with error on channel 'Zap/1-1'
    -- Executing Zapateller("Zap/1-1", "") in new stack
    -- Executing PrivacyManager("Zap/1-1", "") in new stack
  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/privacy.conf': Found
    -- Playing 'privacy-unident'
    -- Playing 'privacy-prompt'
 
Is there a way to NOT have asterisk go through my s,2 if CID is an 
error? Or maybe change my incoming so nothing happens if CID returns 
with an error?

extensions.conf
[incoming]
exten =>  s/,1,Zapateller
exten => s,1,NoOp
exten =>  s,2,PrivacyManager
exten=>   s,3,Dial,IAX/192.168.2.69/|10

Thanks for any ideas!
Chris

if he leans too far, he falls out. Wait. I guess that's like a regular 
window.

I had the same problem and used "callprogress=no" in the zapata.conf
file corrected the problem. It's a fairly well known problem where *
is sensing voice on the pstn line (from the analog phone), and initiates
the inbound call.

(If you talk quitely, it won't happen. Talk loud and the phone rings.
Isn't that hands-free ;)
