IMHO this is where it gets interesting. We have to leave the ‘digital’ world and enter the ‘analog’ world. The “FXO” emits a signal, it travels across the wire, and might possibly be echoed back at the electrical level. Get the o-scopes ladies and gents. When
the firmware of the FXO card reports this:

<div class="">I suspect there is something *interesting* going on at the analog level. We start getting into pseudo-manchester-encoding territory here. Just how much “signal” is required to assume a 1 vs a 0?</div>

<div class="">Given the disconnect occurs when you press any (assumption on my part) DTMF, then I wonder what analog signal is reflected back down the wire at the analog level. Reflection is a common byproduct of impedance mismatch. This is part of the reason
high impedance interfaces are so valuable almost universally. This is where I buy my friend with an electrical degree a few beverages of his choice. <a href="http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/voice/ip-telephony-voice-over-ip-voip/64282-impedance-choice.html" class="">http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/voice/ip-telephony-voice-over-ip-voip/64282-impedance-choice.html</a></div>

<div class="">How much knowledge or control do you have over all aspects of the physical implementation? 24km of 26AWG copper pair can have ‘interesting’ electrical properties, let alone what ‘actually’ happens over that 24km.</div>

<div class="">Impedance (AC resistance at various frequencies) may not be the same as Resistance (DC resistance). <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedance" class="">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedance</a> . This gets into the
physical details ,and sometimes anomalies, of the environment.</div>

<div class="">Hat tip Ryan for brining up the i(impedance) vs r(resistance) angle.</div>
