Hi, I've got the latest asterisk@home setup running with SIP. I've been trying to tie it in with the PSTN off and on for a while with no success. I gave up on ISDN and purchased 2 x100p cards from x100p.com. I've got the card installed, the machine can see it. The problems I have at the moment are First time I start up the drivers and asterisk, I can call the pstn number. The call is detected, the SIP phone rings, you can pick up the call, but there is nothing but a faint noise. After that, if you try to call the number again, it's engaged, as if the x100 P has not dropped the line, though watching the asterisk log in real time it says it has. I've looked all over the web for some detailed instructions, but most just mirror what I've already done. Is it because I'm in the UK? I could not find anyone using these in the UK. Maybe they don't like UK phone sockets? My zaptel.conf is # Span 1: WCFXO/0 "Wildcard X100P Board 1" fxsks=1 # Global data loadzone = uk defaultzone = uk Can anyone help me to get this working? Thanks.
I just moved the card to another slot, and I now seem to have voice! Upon removing one of the cards, I noticed a resistor is broken off at the base. Not sure if it was always like that or if I did it removing it, but I now do seem to be further along. Still seems to be trouble detecting that the remote caller has hung up though. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Paul J.

Hi Paul - We gave up on analogue a long time ago in favour of ISDN. I have 3 ISDN cards in my Asterisk box. Billion ISDN BRI Cards cost me approx ?15 each from komplett.co.uk and are perfect. You need to use the bri-stuffed version of Asterisk. If you still have the ISDNline I would recommend you give it another shot. You get none of the echo, caller ID and hangup detection problems with ISDN. It Just Works. (TM) Rgds Tim Robinson Basingstoke, UK. Paul J.

Thanks greatly for this. I will give it a go with these cards. I was trying to use Diva ones before. ISDN was by far my preferred choice, if I could get it to work... -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Tim Robinson Sent: 23 February 2006 21:26 To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] UK X100P installation help Hi Paul - We gave up on analogue a long time ago in favour of ISDN.
