<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am using 2 X100P clone cards in my asterisk
system, and have one phone line plugged into the 'line' port of each
card.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On one of the cards, I also have a cable plugged
into the 'phone' port and this cable is then connected to the modem on my PC so
that I can use it for dial-up.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I thought that this would then allow me to do
dial-up and at the same time it would lock the port so that the asterisk server
would not be able to give this line to users for outbound calls.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, when I connect to the internet, the
asterisk server thinks that an incoming phone call is in place, so it answers
the call. This then causes my internet connection to get cut
off.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Am I not meant to use the 'phone' port on these
cards? Do I just have to connect the dial-up modem 'upstream' of the
asterisk server, and hope that no-one tries to make an outgoing call on that
line while I am connected to the internet?</FONT></DIV>
