Hi again Gordon,

As suggested.....


eddie ~ # cat !$
cat /etc/asterisk/extensions_dunc.conf
[from-internal]
exten => 123456,1,Answer()
exten => 123456,2,Playback(demo-congrats)
exten => 123456,3,Hangup()

[from-pstn]
exten => s,1,Answer()
exten => s,2,Playback(demo-congrats)
exten => s,3,Hangup()



If I dial 123456 on my analogue phone, then it's all cool.

*CLI>     -- Starting simple switch on 'DAHDI/2-1'
     -- Executing [123456 at from-internal:1] Answer("DAHDI/2-1", "") in 
new stack
     -- Executing [123456 at from-internal:2] Playback("DAHDI/2-1", 
"demo-congrats") in new stack
     -- <DAHDI/2-1> Playing 'demo-congrats.gsm' (language 'en')
     -- Executing [123456 at from-internal:3] Hangup("DAHDI/2-1", "") in 
new stack
   == Spawn extension (from-internal, 123456, 3) exited non-zero on 
'DAHDI/2-1'
     -- Hungup 'DAHDI/2-1'

*CLI>


(I'm not actually sure that it should exit non-zero or not, but I 
definitely got the recorded message and then it hung up)

So that's fine. There's just incoming to fix now.


When I dial in from external:-

Looks good, but my incoming call from mobile doesn't actually stop 
ringing, I still end up at Virgin's voicemail.

I notice that  the first line is an alarm clear event. So it looks like 
my RED alarm is on right up until there's an incoming call. Other people 
on this thread have said that RED means can't detect a voltage from the 
line. So that's sort of making sense I think, as there'll definitely be 
a voltage


I've just tried your suggestion from your other mail, where you were on 
about using the cable from a phone. So I pinched the one from my 
analogue phone (it's 2 wires.)  The alarm cleared as soon as plugged it 
in, and now everything is working :-)


So it WAS the cable all along! Who'd have thought.

I've just tried using the cable I was using between the card and the 
wall on my phone, and it doesn't work. I can't believe I didn't think to 
try swapping them before. Now I need to hunt down another one of those 
cables then.

Thanks so much to everyone who has helped me with this, it's much 
appreciated. Now I can get on with playing with asterisk.


Cheers,

Dunc
