Starting asterisk with "safe_asterisk" is fine. Use "asterisk -rvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv"
and watch the command line when placing / hanging up a call, and post the
results here. (Without some clue as to how you have this configured, no one
is going to be able help.)

What version of asterisk are you using? (show version from the command line)

Copy / paste your definitions for the x100p card (zapata.conf), definitions
for the sip phones (sip.conf), and the appropriate sections of extensions.conf
and post those to this list.

Also, it might be helpful to know what country your in (which pstn provider).
