>6.    The x-lite goes back on hook.

Try exhaustively checking  combinations of codec permissions to see
if that makes a difference.

Set disallow=all allow=ulaw  in both the [general] section, and in
each end device.  Change those settings around a bit, trying a call
each time you change a setting.  Both the GS and the x-lite phone
have some quirks with how they handle codecs, especially with *.
