This is an oddity of how the POTS works, and has nothing to do with asterisk.
For almost all domestic switches in the world, the called party can hang up the handset without disconnecting the call. If the phone is picked up before a timer pops (on the order of 10-30 seconds), then the call continues. Only after this timer expires does the call actually get disconnected. Ostensibly, this gives the called party (who may not be prepared to receive a call) the opportunity to hang up, move (briskly) to another phone, and pick back up. In practice, it's silly because so few people know it works that way. The clicks and pops are just line noise. You'll probably hear the same thing if you pick up your phone, hit a single touch tone (not 0), and then listen. /a > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Lawson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, September 05, 2003 16:08 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Noisy/Clicky hangup > > > When I call in from an outside POTS line to a Zap channel, > and the call > ends, it seems like the hangups are very "sloppy."
