asterisk users - Sep 2005 - i4l ring indication problem, again...

I can't find solution anywhere. I googled and find people with the same
problem but there was no answers on how to fix this.

I have W6692 based PCI cards that uses hisax driver (card type=36).
Card is working fine under asterisk with i4l modem driver for incoming
calls. If I want to dial out using some sip phone I don't get ring
indication. Phone is ringing and I hear only silence until someone
answers the phone. Using r in Dial command kind of fixes this problem
but not completely. Example: I call someone on mobile phone and he is busy,
I want get busy right away, first i will hear ringing (until calls reach
mobile phone) and then i get busy. This confuses people allot.

So my question is how to get ring indication on i4l. I tried different
i4l cards, some of them where usb and all have the same ring indication
problem.

And yes I have /etc/asterisk/indications.conf, I tried to change countries
but it didn't help.

Please don't tell me to try CAPI or bristuff, I know they work but I want
to make this work (this small usb isdn is very cool)

Is there anybody that has a working configuration for i4l that doesn't
have ring indication problem (I'm using 2.4.29 kernel).

Thanks

I 'm experiencing the same problem and another worst than ring 
indicator, because i'm unable to call some numbers with automatic 
response system. Calling these numbers with I4L  gets always busy. If 
you call with a cell phone, for example, the same number is free.
I googled and asked on several mailing lists for weeks, and the 
conclusion of my search is that I4L is not to take into consideration 
for voice.

It's seem this is caused by the way I4L manage signalling. It discards 
everything before a CONNECT state, so you loose ring indicator and you 
hear nothing from automatic response system than answers without sending 
the CONNECT signalling.

I think me and you have no way to solve this problem using I4L.
Please let me know if you find a solution, i'll do the same, but i'm 
moving to CAPI............
