1 week with obi200. Just works whenever it wants to?

@PropDad
You write of an answering machine. You also write that the phone is plugged directly into the OBi200. Unless you have a phone with built-in answering I don't understand. Please clarify.
It's a cordless phone base, and as most do it has an answering machine built in.

Changing the OBi's REN is bunkum. There is no such adjustment on an OBi ...
Yeah, I kind of said that. HOWEVER, this answering machine is interacting very poorly with the Obi200, which is clearly mishandling or doubling some "click" or something when it picks up the line, and apparently initiating a conference call or something.
My suggestion was: 1) throw away the answering machine altogether, or 2) try a different answering machine, or 3) try to fiddle the impedance/features/whatever of the Obi200's Phone Port so it filters out or ignores whatever staccato thing is accompanying the answering machine's call pick-up.
Do you think it appropriate to attack me for the suggestions? You got something better?
Further advice for PropDad: just disable call answering on your built-in machine and let GV do it.
drgeoff:
The OBi should not need to, nor try to, distinguish between a human answering a call and the answering function doing it.
Is the phone a Panasonic? See http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=12530.0 Despite initial pooh-poohing by myself and others there was an issue that required a firmware fix by Obihai. Perhaps this is similar.

What IS appropriate, is to point out that you are suffering from "Male Answer Syndrome", repeatedly posting answers just for the sake of it, without understanding the technology. Given that you a) don't understand telephony hardware, and b) don't adequately understand Google Voice, posting more bunkum answers will result in the same comments.
LTN1:
The insecurity part of oneself is to be on the defensive in response to SteveInWA's reply...but I highly suggest not to do the predictable and learn from his and drgeoff's responses.
