Thanks for the tip, it worked as seen on TV!
I also think the users are [somewhat] uncoperative and memoryless, but i can't connect
FXS to trunk because that pbx was already full. Also having some problems with disconnect
supervision. I know FXO is a hassle, but had no other means of solution.

Thanks
