I've been having problems with incoming voice calls on my 3B1 which I just got last week. Maybe I just haven't found out the right way to configure things, but here's an article where someone describes *exactly* what happens to me when I take an incoming call and hit either <ENTER> to take notes or <CANCL> to not take notes. However, it also happens (at random?!?) when I don't touch a key.

To me the most bothersome part is that the phone gets hung up -- always when it's a friend calling long distance. :-( My phone mgr preferences specify that incoming calls should be logged after 30 sec. It seems like it's at the 30 sec tick that the machine hangs up the phone. If I increase that value from 30 sec (e.g., to 999), it doesn't hang up. On a related note, if I call out using the machine to dial the phone, I have to select HANG UP with the mouse to change the line state from ACTIVE to IDLE, even though I've already put the phone back on the hook. Has anyone had problems like these? What's the scoop?
