Thanks Eric - that did the trick.

I think that this change in behaviour is due to this change in
channels/chan_zap.c:

3529c3670
<               if (i->callprogress && CANPROGRESSDETECT(i) && i->outgoing) {
---
>               if (i->callprogress && CANPROGRESSDETECT(i)) {

which I think used to allow callprogress only when an outoing call
is being placed (which seems reasonable on the surface - you don't
need callprogress on inbound calls/channels) but now always allows
callprogress.


But the thing I don't understand is, I think both callprogress and
busydetect default to 0/false/no/off in chan_zap.c, and I hadn't
set them earlier in my zaptel.conf file, but they seemed to be
getting set to yes in my case (or at least behaving that way).
Looking at the code, I don't see an obvious way for that to happen.

Oh well, perhaps I am hallucinating and not understanding properly.

Thanks!
