  It's probably the result of FXO lines having very little signalling. IOW,
  asterisk picks up the FXO line and dials the number... By then it has
  no way of knowing wheather the other party answered or not. That's
  probably why your getting your "other leg" too early in the process.

  Maybe you could try to Wait() for a few seconds on your dialplan.
