I don't think * likes this.  I have an analog phone hooked directly to 
the line, and very frequently if I place an ougoing call from that phone 
* will pick up and go through the answer routine after the call has been 
connected for a minute or two.  This is even if the phone doesn't ring, 
just a regular outgoing call.  It just picks up the voltage I guess, and 
thinks it's a ring.

Best way to use * is to get an ATA adapter and connect your phones to 
that.  I'm having no problems connecting two phones to one port of a 
Sipura 2000 unit... you could probably get away with three or four if 
they all played nice.
