My problem is to get * to see the phone *ringing*, so it can be answered.
A standard phone can get calls (phone rings) and make calls (you canb break
dialtone by hitting a key, dial 9 to get out). Asterisk simply doesn't see
the line ring. The folks at the remote end are going to take the system
home where there is a standard POTS line, and see if that's any different.
