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'

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?

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.
The reason I ask is because it will help identify the Ring1 cadence variant.
If the Ring1 cadence settings are Non UK but the Answering Machine is UK -
then maybe.........

It came from Hong Kong, the Ring 1 cadence is currently set to:

That is the 'suggested' UK setting, so presumably you have changed that, and
maybe others from their original HK or US settings. Maybe changing other
settings, has caused your problem......
Did you get your UK settings from a good/proven source....? For example,
what is your FXS Port Impedance set at?

I got the settings from www.wirelessforums.org and the FXS is set to:

Tried that too :) I hate being defied by technology

Not sure if this will help at all, but my Tesco IPA1000 couldn't make any
of my phones ring at all. A non-obvious workaround I found that worked
every time I tried it, was to plug a spare ADSL filter into the IPA's
phone socket port, and plug the phone into the filter.
Sipgate, PAP2 and answer machine 
Linear Mode
