It's been years since I played with FXO lines but it seems to me that if you can listen to it with an analog phone, you should be able to patch into it (without disconnecting any existing equipment), set your trunk (FXO) port for LS and just issue a Dial() command to that port. Basically, it's like a trunk that you don't have to dial because the call is already setup for you. If I'm right, it's analogous to your wife being on a call in the kitchen and you pick up the phone in the living room. The call was already in progress when you picked up in the living room. No need to dial.
Thoughts: 1) I don't know whether Asterisk will refuse to connect you because it's waiting for dialtone. 2) It seems odd to use the Dial() command even though you're not sending digits. Maybe there's a better command but basically you want Asterisk to go off hook on the trunk port and connect you to it. Something like this Bix Clip connected to an RJ-12 plug should let you join the line without interrupting the ongoing transmission (other than maybe a click). http://www.alphatelecom.ca/QBIX-17A.jpg I hope that helps, Dave On Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 4:25 PM, Andre Courchesne<[email protected]> wrote: > Still no luck. must be something like groundstart, loopstart or a shit like > that.
