[Asterisk-Users] Analog answering machine hangs up early

[Scott Stingel]

Sounds like the asterisk system is not sourcing enough line current on the
FXS port, and the answering machine may think the line has hung up.   This
is what the answering machine is supposed to do, for example, when someone
picks up another phone on the same line.

So, I've got an analog fax/answering machine connected to an FXS port on a
TDM400p card, and everything is fine as long as I answer the phone manually.
If, however, I let the answering machine pick it up, it hangs up a few
seconds into playing the greeting.

Don't ask why I want to use this analog machine instead of the voicemail
app- it's a long and dull story.  But I can't figure out why it's hanging
up... any thoughts?

Thanks,
+j
