After doing some tests with my own hardware, I'm now convinced that this is
actually normal behaviour:  As far as Asterisk is concerned, a call is deemed
"answered" as soon as the hardware seizes the line.  It is only "not answered"
if the line is not available.

Which makes sense, because an analogue line has no D-channel.  Once the trunk
is acquired successfully, there is no way for a machine to know the state of
the call beyond then.  Such supervisory information as there is -- a regular
cadence during ringing, possibly a burst of white noise and then a human voice
-- is geared towards interpretation by human beings.

Moerover, since the tones are different in every country  (and sometimes,
between different telephone exchanges in the same country; at one time, the UK
was using three sets of supervisory tones depending whether you were on an
old-fashioned "clicky-clicky" exchange, an intermediate-generation analogue
electronic exchange or System X)  it would not be a trivial task to make sense
of them.


I think if you want full supervisory information, you are going to need to use
some sort of digital telephony technology  (ISDN or GSM).

This is well known behavior for many years, since the inception of Asterisk/Zaptel
I wonder why tests had to be run!
The OP issue was answered several days ago
His issue was obvious and well stated until another poster confused the issue!
