[Ekiga-list] Ekiga very slow disconnecting

Fri Nov 2 17:39:12 UTC 2007

This refers to item 3 on the list.
I have noticed that the application actually does not disconnect at all 
when the called party, either human or answering machine, did not answer 
(off hook). In the event of no answer, I simply try to disconnect with 
ctrl D. It does not and I have to force a disconnect (force quit in 
Linux). This may be an anomaly in the application. I hesitate to call it 
a bug, since I do not know the inner functionalities of the application. 
I thought I let the developers know by way of this list.
Thank you for reading it.
Regards,
-hr
