asterisk users - May 2005 - BT100 Phone Died During Call

I've been using Asterisk for a few weeks now.  I have a (1) BT100 phone and
a Sipura-2000 for all my analog phones.  All has worked rather flawlessly,
until today.
 
I was on the BT100 phone today.  During my phone conversation, the BT100
disconnected and went into a "click" mode.   2 "clicks" per
second I think.
Asterisk was fine, I picked up one of the analog phones, recieved dial-tone,
and was able to call out through my service.  
 
The MENU key on the BT100 would work as I was attempting to "reboot"
the
phone.  I had to give the phone a hard power-cycle to restore it to normal.
 
Has anyone experienced this problem with a BT100?
 
Jim

Yes, a couple of times on my BT102s.  Once even had something like a 
siren sound coming from it.  Rebooting it took care of the issue, but 
have had it happen on 2 different phones (Out of 11 total phones).

You are lucky it is still working at all.  I have seen a very high number of the
phones die alltogether.

And others of us have dozens of them deployed without problem.

They are a fine low-end device.  I have seen sudden death hit many 
different brands of IP phones, particularly those that strive for the 
"budget" price point.
