Hi All

Just discovered that when my answer machine picks up a Sipgate call it
isn't registered by my PAP2 adapter therefore I don't hear the answer
machine "Leave a message" ...err message.

Is there any way to fix this?

Any info would be much appreciated.

Bit more detail. Is your answerphone plugged into your PAP2? and your
phone plugged into your answerphone?

Apologies, my phone is an all in one phone and answer machine unit, it's
plugged into my PAP2.  I can make and receive calls no problem, but when
the answer machine picks up it doesn't register with the PAP2.

Taking a guess, when the TAM answers, as no-one is home, it only loops
the line. When you pick the phone up you short the bell/ringing line and
it may be that is what the ATA detects.

What do you mean by: 'but when the answer machine picks up it doesn't
register with the PAP2'

Can you explain a little more....

If I don't use sipgate or PAP2 and plug my phone with built in answer
machine into a regular phone system i.e. virgin, then after 6 rings without
answering the answer machine kicks in giving the standard "sorry unable to
take your call please leave a message" and allows someone to leave a
message.

When I use the sipgate and PAP2 the phone rings and the answer machine
kicks in after 6 rings but the "sorry unable to blah blah" message is not
heard and the call times out.

It's almost like the PAP2 doesn't know that the answer machine has picked
up the call?

Can I fix this?

If you answer the call by picking up the handset, can you
conduct a two-way conversation?

It looks as though the PAP2 is timing out at less than the 6 rings needed to
'trip' the answering machine

Don't have your answering machine switched on, and arrange for an incoming
call to come in but don't answer it.  How many rings does it call before it
stops/times out?

I had a similar thought and I've tried that.

The PAP2 is configured to ring for 60 seconds before stopping/timing out.

6 rings is roughly 15-20 seconds, so the answer machine would kick in long
before the call stops/times out.
