Hi: The answer script is only created by sfspeaker when a connection is received, so the script won't be killing off the current one. I don't know what exactly causes the localhost bit in the answer script, though I've seen it before. I think it has something to do with your system sending out the busy tone. Anyway, this won't be the cause of your problems as you never run the sf-ans script yourself. My advice is to remove the busy switch and try again, since it makes things a little less complicated. If it still doesn't work, then I think something is busted. But I suspect this already. You might have to revert back to the 7.2 release for point to point until we can track down the problem. Geoff.
