[asterisk-users] help a bald guy

[Danny Nicholas]

Here's some more info 
1.  We join these conferences that our clients host.  I'd love to host them,
but that's not an option.
2.  If I'm listening to joe and try to interrupt him, he doesn't hear it.
3.  Most of these clients are on land-lines.  These calls work fine on our
old PBX.
4.  Just Zapata/Dahdi ones.  I expect a 5-7 second delay for Zapata, but
DAHDI seems to be slower than that.

AFAIK we are on PRI with no alarms.

weird. You could always host these conferences yourself.

calls.

Define 'chop'.

We run a business that involves a lot of young people, a substantial
portion of which rely on cell phones while walking into elevators or
driving into tunnels, etc. We are pretty good at blaming the customer
for these kind of calls. Do you have reason to suspect the problem is
on your end?

That's really weird. Is this universal, for all calls?

I'm not sure any of these problems map to a problem with your version.
Are you getting system alarms on your PRIs / T1s? Are you getting
static or pops on the line? My first thought was you have a
misconfiguration with your line signaling or a bad physical line.
