I've got a telephony problem, & my wife is very unhappy. Gonna try to explain it here.
When my wife is on the phone (landline) with a friend (cell), occasionally the friend will receive another call. Often, the friend will inadvertently put my wife on hold while answering the second call, rather than just hang-up. My wife hangs up. Now the fun begins, my home phone continues to ring, and ring, and ring. This will continue for hours until the friend finally hangs up. I've talked to a local phone tech and he says the cell phone is trying to maintain the on hold connection.
My wife, meantime, has called the phone company to complain, they say the problem is almost certainly within the home. I've held her off for some time now, but she's going to get a tech to come over. When he sees my hardware, desktop hi-phone, HAI panel etc., I think my (already suspect)hobby is doomed.
My wife has of course commiserated with her friends and none seem to have this problem.
Are any of you familiar with telephone connections or operations? This problem is months old now but relatively new. Some months back I moved HS to a new box and had some trouble with the Hi-phone drivers but I don't recall their proximity. Could this be a cause-effect?
Thanks
Paul
