I too have seen what Rob is saying.. on a Sangoma card. It was an easy fix in the config, but I don't remember what it was.. but basically it was stray voltage.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/18/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

We were having phantom calls as well. In our case, we had 2 pots line
running in our sangoma card, and when you dial out, would would wait
for whomever to pickup. If you gave up waiting an hung the phone up (we
also had 2 normal phones plugged into fxs ports), it wouldn't
immediately receive the hangup signal. The call would connect, then
asterisk would turn around and try to call us back. If the other side
hungup because they just heard dead error, then when you'd repickup
your call, it would also be dead air.<br>
<br>
Not sure if this is the same case as yours, but ours was odd as well.<br><span class="sg">
