In the UK phone network, and I suspect in many other countries too, for
analogue lines it is the caller who holds the call open. For example in
a call between two normal analogue phones, the called party can hangup
their phone, and then within a short while pick it up again (or another
phone on the same line) and the caller is still there. Hanging up the
called phone does not clear down the call until after quite a long
timeout (a couple of minutes perhaps).

In your above example with Asterisk connected to an analogue line with an
FXO card, Asterisk is the called party, and is therefore unable to clear
down the line forcibly. This is not an Asterisk or AGI problem but a PSTN one.

Cheers
