PROBLEM: My x100p only does bad things. When I plug the line from the wall into the card, other phones in my house go nuts, no dialtone, crazy clicking, random tones, etc. Following the steps below, the line is screwed up any time I test after step 2. Just plugging the line from the wall into the x100p takes my other phones off line. External calls to my line hear busy. Obviously, can't do the first testing with asterisk+x100p. 1. Installed asterisk 2. Installed card in slot (no shared IRQs) 3. Installed (modprobed) drivers 4. Modified config files to just basics for my environment 5. Ran ztcfg 6. Started asterisk No errors, asterisk starts fine, modprobe -q shows drivers. Next I'm going to experiment with "context" since I've seen several recommendations including incoming and bell. This is kicking my butt, can someone help? Thanks, Rick

Change the line cord from the FXO port to the wall. If that doesn't make a difference, change jacks. Try that jack with another phone.

If you're not familiar linux, reboot your system and watch for any errors loading modules during startup.
