| JT | SnrWup: you sure that silence isn't from the telco? SnrWup: yes that's normal analogue signalling is shit if you want everything to work nicely, get a digital circuit |
| SnrWup | JT - well... for example... if i put an r in the dial command, asterisk plays ringing after the dial starts |
| JT | is the simple answer |
| SnrWup | then after the ringing from asterisk i get silence |
| JT | never use r, it's useless shit imho |
| SnrWup | then after the silence i get the real ringing of the pots line |
| JT | false ringing indication |
| SnrWup | what would be great is if asterisk knew when the pstn user picks up, then i could just mask the whole shit with false ringing until they pick up and it would appear normal |
| JT | SnrWup: you need answer supervision or digital phone lines a computer cannot easily tell when an analogue call is answered |
| SnrWup | JT - im in the UK with british telecom... as far as i know answer supervision is standard with polarity reversal for answering and hanging up only thing is... answeronpolarityswitch=yes makes 0 difference and when i phone up telco asking about answer supervision nobody seems to have a damn clue |
| JT | i see, these sort of problems aren't fun to play with |
| SnrWup | yeah, lots of late nights |
| JT | heh, a multimeter or oscilloscope might tell you if the line isn't polarity switching but... you're in the UK get digital for 4 lines why screw with analogye analogue |
| SnrWup | waste of 150 on my fxo card and extra cash to connect pri to my * box and extra cash to get pri rental |
| JT | or 2 * BRI |
| Greek-Boy | JT: know a carrier-grade product for what I'm trying to achieve? |
| JT | Greek-Boy: there's plenty, they all cost over $40k |
| Greek-Boy | thats ok |
| JT | you should find out what the technical requirements are first |
| Greek-Boy | whats the best one in your opinion? |
| JT | and you should really hire a telco guy you are getting in telco territory |
| Greek-Boy | ko ok will do that but i still wanna see some specs of these products |
