Thanks for the ideas. Those didn't quite work.

1. Happens on multiple phones.
2. Happens on remote call forwarding too.
3. Is the pause * plus a digit indicating seconds? Tried it; same symptom.

However, here's another odd wrinkle. If we dial a forwarded DID from a desk phone, the forwarding works OK; if we dial the DID from a cell phone, it does the dial tone drop.

Now I'm wondering if there's something amok with the upstream telco or the T1 card configuration. Grr!
