Eric, those links have nothing to do with his stated problem. The problem is "105v AC on the pstn line when on-hook and no ringing". _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
