[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk 1.2 1 FXO Problem

[casasterisk at valnet.com]

I have Asterisk 1.2 and a generic Wildcard single FXO card (a cheapo from eBay).  I have read about many people who have used these cards without an issue and I'm just testing to work up a new system.

The problem I have is that if I call the telephone number of the line attached to that card and have configured my incoming calls to, say, forward to an extension, then it will ring that extension as expected but if you pick up that extension then the extension just hears dial tone and the originator never hears that anyone picked up, it just keeps ringing.

On the other hand if you set it to go to a VM or auto attendant, the system never picks up.  I have run in debug mode to see the messages and it appears to be going through my config just fine, I'll see ANSWER but like I said it never picks up.

Any ideas what would cause this?  I just bought a Digium TDM02B in hopes that this might help, but I would like to be able to use the 1FXO cards as well.
Thank You!
