If it's that bad and it's unfixable by your provider (a) I hope you're
not paying them and (b) the problem is the ring detection at the
driver/hardware level.

The hardware ring detection is tunable to some extent, but I really
couldn't say in what way (although the "how" is just tweak some
registers).

Fortunately wctdm.c also has an alternate, driver level ring detection
routine. Try uncommenting AUDIO_RINGCHECK near the top of wctdm.c.
You may also need to tweak MINPEGTIME, PEGTIME and PEGCOUNT further
down. (Note: the AUDIO_RINGCHECK code may not be as well tested...)
