Yeah - I turned on busydetect on my X100P and went out for the day.  I
was not popular when I got home.

The busydetect works by listening for busy-tone-like pattern of "some
sound" and silence.  As you can imagine, that's not too reliable.

callprogress=yes works by listening for the actual busy tone.  That
works well for me - or at least its turned on here and people aren't
complaining about hangups.
