> Yes, I agree with you Gordon, I really do think it is a bug in the DADHI code as it never plays back the message at all.  I even tried removing the Ringing code and that makes no difference at all.  With such a simple dialplan and configuration I can only think it is how BT signals the line.  Though the fact that the dialplan does get executed suggests that it has noticed the inbound call; it just does not pick up the line :(

Are you using a 2-pin BT to RJ-11 phone cable? If your cable is a 4-pin 
BT to RJ-11 version, then its a modem cable and it won't work. The 
symptoms will be similar to what you have described.
