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 Steve,

Every connector I have checked has four pins :( Do you know where in the UK I can get such a cable that will go from a TDM400 to a BT phone socket ? I have checked Maplins and could not see one :(

Many thanks for your time.
