A (former :-|) client of ours had similar problems and we weren't able
to diagnose the problem before he left.

Is there a hung virtual (v0, etc.) session on the PM3?

It sort of works with the exception of the hung virtual sessions.
The problem - as noted in other e-mails, is that if your switch
sends you 7 digits of called-station-id, and you need 10 to dial
out (or 1+10), then the second channel wont connect.

If it is a 7 digit problem, call your telco and request they fix the
7 digit call routing.

A tech with Livingston notes that 3.9b8 may contain a fix for the
hung virtual sessions.
