I found the same problem when trying to use a X100P connecting to an
analog line from another PBX (NEC something). I never did get it to
work, though it was about a year ago... Mark logged in, but AFAICT,
never did much (got interrupted with other things).
Recently I noticed that specific X100P card, one of the resistors 'legs'
is broken and so not properly connected to the card. I don't feel up to
re-soldering something like that though... It's been too long since I've
tried to solder anything, and even back then, most of the time I just
screwed things up more anyway....

So, it could be a faulty FXO module (my first suspect), or, it could be
incorrect config (I've never seen that happen though), or, it could be a
really weird PSTN connection. What is at the other end of your FXO ??
