With analog lines, it is the phone (the FXO) that decides when the circuit is connected. There are several ways for the PBX to hint you to disconnect. This is called "disconnect supervision". Most Bezeq lines don't provide any disconnect supervision. Thus you'll have to resort to busydetect - listening for a busy tone. And Asterisk's busydetect works in quite strange ways. busydetect=yes Is polarity reversal used anywhere in Israel? (Actually: it is simple to test: enable debug loggin inAsterisk - in logger.conf, 'core set debug 5', and look at the messages you get when a call comes in. See if you see a message about "polarity"). > > > If anyone has any idea how to solve this problem, it would be much > appreciated. > > > The other two problems (unconfirmed with latest versions) are: > > 1.

I cannot define a call group for outgoing calls (Zap/g1). Incorrectly-configured zapata.conf?
