No kidding.  Imagine my surprise when it sounded like my VOIP phone was dialing out on its own (The Grandstream phones use a POTS ringback tone).  I picked up the handset and there was someone on the line!

How did that even make sense to Grandstream?  Why would you want your phone to use the same sound for a call coming in as a call going out??
