I have observed very similar behaviour in an HPEC installation.

Some observations: the clipping happens if receive gain is cranked up.
If I set the gain to defaults, the clipping goes away, but then I have
the problem of users complaining that the remote caller is too quiet.

Another recommendation -- whether or not you are using Zaptel 1.2.x or
1.4.x, you should always the fxotune from 1.4.x.

A question - do the people who are experiencing this problem have
non-default gain settings, either in zapata.conf or in the telephone sets?
