Nonsense
It is easily solved.
Simply answer through a supervised extension ( asterisk )
Don't expect analog lines to work properly with Asterisk and a POTS 
phone bridged, with the call answered on a POTS phone
Technically that is a poor method of connection.
Simply have the PSTN line go into Asterisk, and ALL analog phones in the 
home or business become extensions off of Asterisk

There ARE other ways, but it requires some coding and testing to get 
things to work, with no real gain
I am doing this to capture and screen caller ID numbers, but it is not 
the best solution
