asterisk users - Jan 2009 - dialplan/config basics - analog hangup on keypress

In my journey to resurrect my system and reacquaint myself with *, I am now at
the point where I can dial in and answer with an analog phone.

A good time to record greetings.  So copied the appropriate (66xx stuff) from
the asterisk manual (pg 299), into the dial plan, and restarted.   I am
astonished to find that any keypress on the analog phone causes an immediate
hangup.  This can be seen on CLI.

I must have left something out of the config, or dial plan, but cannot fathom
what.

Thanks for any guidance.

Show us the relevant part of your dialplan.

I downloaded the PDF version of the manual.   

After removing head from southern portion of anatomy, realized I had not defined
a context for the analog phone channels, in the dial plan.  Now am able to
record.

Sorry to clutter the list.
