>>> 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 :(

Hi,

Your BT connector should have only 2 pins. If there are 4 pins on the BT 
connector, then it is a modem cable, which is wrong.
