  In the interim, and completely on a whim, I've put a couple of 
splitters and added another FXO device onto the line, a good old 
fashioned analog phone that chirps once until asterisk picks up the 
line.  With any luck, the next time asterisk takes a dive, that phone 
will continue to ring and we'll catch on faster than the first customer 
that decides to email us wondering why nobody is picking up. :)
