If you haven't set absolutetimeout in your dialplan then there will be 
no reason to have to reset it back to 0..

I tried the debug but didn't see much useful in there.. probably because 
I don't know what its telling me..

I am using Snom phones but I am almost sure its not the phone to 
Asterisk leg because I have an analog phone connected directly to the 
Asterisk box and it also drops calls.. Its almost certainly the IAX leg..

My problem appears to be purely on outgoing but we don't get a huge 
amount of incoming calls over the IAX and as far as I know we have never 
dropped an inbound call, but because of the small inbound call volume I 
wouldn't take it as fact..

Later..
