[Asterisk-Users] BIG problem with multiple rings before pickup

[Jim Archer]

Hi All...

I have a maddening problem...

I have Asterisk configured to pick up a line after 4 rings.  I do this to 
allow my fax machine to pick up a particular distinctive ring pattern, so I 
don't have to pay for a dedicated fax line.

If someone calls the line, lets it ring 3 times and then hangs up, Asterisk 
answers the line, and holds it off hook forever, constantly playing the 
prompts.

My hardware is 2 X100P cards.

Any ideas?

Thanks...
