I have found this behavior with the 7960's, but not with the Pingtel Xpressa or ATA-186. I think I've read it's a bug in the 7960 firmware; I am running 5.1 and see this problem. If anyone knows if it's been corrected in 5.3, I'd like to know. Meantime the Answer/Wait sounds like a good workaround.
