That's not a problem with the TDM800 card... it's just a side-effect of
analog signaling.  For analog calls, the central office doesn't give any
type of signal when the far end has answered the call, so Asterisk has
no way of knowing when that happens. For that reason, Asterisk
immediately treats any outgoing analog call as having been answered.
