<p><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> I’m running 1.4.21.2 on SUSE
11.0 with and zaptel 1.4.12.1 on a TDM400P. Most of my calls work great, but
occasionally we try to connect to a customer or vendor external conference call
and the call will drop after 60-65 seconds unless I have an Answer before the
Dial in the dialplan. Isn’t this solution a hack and what would be a
better one? Thanks in Advance.</span></font></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Unfortunately, when dealing with analogue lines, hacks are quite often needed... I'd suggest that in this case something is causing asterisk (or perhaps the card if polarity reversal is used) to fail to detect the fact that ringing has ended or an answer signal has been passed when calling these numbers... As such a timeout occurs... <br>
<br>You'd need to provide more information to pinpoint the exact issue... but... the only real solution to getting reliable in call event signalling is to use digital lines (or IP services that use digital lines or all IP) though some analogue services do a better job using polarity reversals which makes it much more reliable, the fact that these services are few and far between makes that not an option for most...<br>
