Thanks, both.  However, i was talking about the ringing for the 'CALLED' party, no the 
'CALLING' party.  I don't care about the ringing for the calling party because its an 
oubound dialing app using .CALL files.  The ringing (periodically) stops after 2 rings 
or so -- but the CALLEE can still pick up the line and connect the call.

also, killing the call progress information for the call is no an option -- i need to 
know if the lines was busy / no answer.  (don't worry, NOT a telemarketing app!)

can you think of any reason why the CALLEE's line would stop ringing after 2 rings 
(sporadically), while the line is still active?
