I'm in Australia, I have the same setup, and I had the exact same thing 
happen twice in the space of a few minutes, just then, while calling the 
same person. The person who I was calling says they don't have call waiting 
and were disconnected from me without warning, as I was. I have disabled 
call waiting with my telco. I rebooted asterisk today.

Personally, I've come to the conclusion that these digium cards are a bit 
flaky - dunno?
