asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Interface * with ATA from ATA FXS port?

Me again... I have service with a company that does not allow for a BYOD
plan. They will not give out credential or server info either. Is it
possible to run the FXS port of the ATA to an FXO port in *? 

The service I have is throug Broadvox Direct using the Mediatrix 2102. I
have tried this using loop start and kewl start. The * box sees the
incoming ring, picks up and starts my dial plan. But the Mediatrix never
recognizes that the * box has picked up and continues to ring and then
goes on to voicemail.

I am beginning to think that this is not possible. Guess maybe I should
have found another provider. I have a number port in progress right now
and cannot stop it.

Sounds like an ata or * config problem to me, but then without any 
copy/paste of what you've configured, debug data, etc, no one is going 
to get any closer then throwing a dart at the wall. Is that ata a Cisco 
or what?

So, if you really want some help, try to collect and post some useful
data in some reasonable manner.

- config data from * for your ata box
- config data from * for your extensions.conf
- any debug that supports your boxes (eg, sip debug, zap debug, etc)
- config data and/or debug data from the ata

Can you answer the call from a POTS phone?
Are you sure the cable is good connecting the two?
Are you sure the FXO card is good?

Output of the ATA should appear to Asterisk as a PSTN line.
Perhaps your problem is really simple?
