YES- You need the local Telco to either busy out the line, or remove 
from the hunt group. This solves the incoming problem
You also need to do the same in your Zapata for outgoing calls, simply 
put that channel in an unused group.

I do hope you hunt from last to first for outgoing, and the telco hunts 
from first to last for incoming. This will reduce, but not eliminate 
head on collisions ( glare )

Since this seems related to rain/moisture, trouble is probably external, 
but if your telco's are anything like the big boys in the US, there will 
be little interest in repairing the cable trouble, wherever it might be
OSP  repair is of little interest to the big boys any more
