</div>I understand now. Yes, dahdi_tool is showing the alarm status for<br>
the entire span, and for analog cards, the entire span is always<br>
essentially green. It's the individual channels that can go into red<br>
alarm unlike on digital spans.<br>
<br>
Why do you want to add a yellow status? What are you trying to<br>
accomplish that you cannot with the way things are now?<br>

<br>
</div>'callprogress=yes' in chan_dahdi.conf won't help you here? It may be<br>
able to detect dialtone before attempting to dial out.<br>
