Lewis The timer comes into play only when you are making a call (roh). It only mutes the transmit side. Incoming is completely different. Sounds like the ans machine is in parallel with the line. Whenever the second phone (analog) connected to the same line goes off hook at the house the volume of the call goes way down. The tda 50 has a 4 port hybrid card in its first slot. Set up those ports for XDP. Now you can connect the ans machine to a single line port. Assign ringing for that line to that single line port and connect the ans machine to it.

The customer told me that when she answers the phone, its muted for a period of time. Now this all makes sense. What she didn't tell me is that the answering machine got the call first AND THEN she tried to pick up the call after the machine started to take the call. My guess is if I adjust that timer, I will fix the problem. We went this route since she wanted an answering machine with caller id built into it. Try and find one of those today.
