Welcome in the club. I have reported similar issue a week 
ago to this list, although I get 'not available' instead
of your 'busy' and it does not take days but often just 
tens of minutes. Restart of Ekiga fixes the problem for 
some time exactly as in your case.

I guess this and many similar reports are NAT related and
nobody really knows how to deal with them properly due to
the plethora of slightly different NAT implementations.

I ended up writing an ugly hack - a script catching -d 2
output of ekiga and restarting it every ten minutes unless
-d 2 suggests ekiga is in call... Not very nice indeed but 
at least Ekiga is usable with this hack again...
