[Asterisk-Users] Cisco ATA and a PayPhone

[Mark Johnson]

I have an interesting problem.  I am attempting to install a payphone 
utilizing a Cisco ATA-188.  The payphone actually works, but there are 
some timing issues.  What happens is you pick up the payphone and the 
ATA grabs a line and goes offhook.  While you monkey with putting money 
in and dialing the number, you are eating up the time before you get the 
offhook reorder tones (or howler tones I think).  If you can put the 
money in and dial real fast, it works!!

I have been screwing with the ATA configs for days now and can't come up 
with a way to extend the timeout or to even disable it.  Anyone have any 
suggestions or could recommend another method?  FX ports may be an 
option, but they are pretty far from where these phones are going to 
go.  As always, thanks for any input!!
