<div>Thanks Lyle.<br>
<br>
My extensions.conf is fairly simple in this regard; I use
macro-stdexten:<br>
<br>
[macro-stdexten];<br>
exten => s,1,NoOp('${CALLERID(NAME)}' [${CALLERID(NUM)}] calling
[${ARG1}])<br>
exten => s,n,Set(MBOXCONTEXT=****)<br>
exten => s,n,Dial(${ARG1},30) ; Ring the
interface, 30 seconds maximum<br>
exten => s,n,MailboxExists(${MACRO_EXTEN}@${MBOXCONTEXT})<br>
exten => s,n,NoOp(Got mailbox status of '${VMBOXEXISTSSTATUS}')<br>
exten =>
s,n,GotoIf($["${VMBOXEXISTSSTATUS}"="SUCCESS"]?s-Voicemail,1:s-NOANSWER,1)<br>
<br>
and it is called with
"SIP/****&DAHDI/1r1&DAHDI/3r1&DAHDI/5r1&DAHDI/7r3&SIP/****&SIP/****&SIP/****&SIP/****&SIP/****&DAHDI/2&DAHDI/4&DAHDI/6"<br>

<div>Good idea, thank you - I will try this tonight.<br>

Hmm - not sure how I might determine whether this is the case or not..
It only seems to occur on some channels, at the moment.<br>

Thinking on this, if the power supply is going bad, reducing the number
of DAHDI channels in ringing state may help. I am an old telco guy
having spent 23 years working for the biggest telco in the US in their
CO's. I tend to think something funny with the channel bank or the
channel units. Seen that happen many times working for them. <br>
<br>
I assume the wiring is good and not 'wet'. If it was underground or in
a damp environment...<br>
<br>
I would go back to thinking chan bank with FXS channel units, not DAHDI
channels. It will focus the attention where you have power
supplies(-24 or -48 volt talk battery and ringing current with trip
battery super-imposed) and all the electronic things that can go wrong
with that and the detecting of offhook state. It would be easy for the
electronics to think the phone was offhook when ringing, but not when
supplying only talk battery when the channel units or power supply goes
flakey.<br>
