[General] VoIP For Home Usage

[Ahmad Al-Ibrahim]

I will try that, thanks for the tips.

I cannot say kw settings did not work with asterisk 1.6 since the
problem might be with the line and the card.

If I connect the line directly to the FXO module I always get busy tone.
If I use ADSL splitter, I get continuous Starting/Hangup in asterisk
CLI, and the line rings, and the call is answered, all I hear is phone
pickup, hangup every second.

One thing I'm not sure of is the DMTF and MF settings, if you look at
the attached zonedata.c file in previous emails, last 4 variables in
Kuwait zone are:
	  .dtmf_high_level = -10,
	  .dtmf_low_level = -10,
	  .mfr1_level = -10,
	  .mfr2_level = -8,

These values were a guess. Do you have any idea on the values of these
variables for Kuwait?

Ahmad Al-Ibrahim
