First this isn't a -dev worth question, it should have been aimed at
-users.

If that doesn't time out then I think you might be stuffed.
Still try a factory reset of the phone as described in:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/products_administration_guide_chapter09186a00803b1451.html#wp1087544

However that said, I don't believe ANYONE has a 7970 working with
asterisk yet, and so might be worth waiting until someone posts a
sucsess report.

Thanks,
Julien
