I very much agree with your suggestion. I've had a number of instances
where the authentication process gets 'stuck' or gives up, and I end up
having to restart the SIP trunking by using VPN to a customer's location.
Even if it's the TSP's issue, I sometimes asked why the phone server
doesn't just do this automatically.
