Yep, its an analog channel, a land line to the Central Office.
i did manage to get the connection fixed (had a broken line)
that was driving me nuts. But still, if no one answers, i need to write something like
an acknowlage requirement that will let me know.
thanks for your help, i am a little closer now.

or a digital line?I suspect it is an analogue line, in which case it can be tricky to tellwhen the line has been answered at the other end. I believe the defaultis for Asterisk to consider the line answered as soon as the call is
placed.There is experimental support for call progress detection, which canbe enabled in /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf (look for the callprogressoption). However, I don't know anything about it, having never used it.
The only way to make this really reliable is to use a digital interface,either BRI or PRI.Hope this helpsCheersTony On 8/8/06, Tony Mountifield

the extension it points to reads like this [outboundmsg1] exten = s,1,Answer exten = s,2,Wait(3) exten = s,3,AGI(server_dialout.py)
exten = s,4,Hangup the problem is that when the script is run, there is no pause to answer, and even if the phone is not answered, the script
continues to run. any idea how to make the answer function stop and wait for the answer? Please post the contents of the call file that you generate...
