In searching for answers I found bug 5304 had the same symptoms 10 months ago. First answer is echo and fuzz. Hangup and it rings back with a dial tone when answered.
Any one know how serge-v ended up handling this issue.
0005304: zt_handle_event: Ring/Off-hook in strange state 6 on channel X
Description For several months, we are experiencing “ghost calls” on our Asterisk system. By ghost call I mean an incoming call that is not originated from telco (as per telco). There are two variants of suchs calls (as experienced on receiving end): 1) dead silence 2) dialtone. Such calls are always associated with “Ring/off-hook in strange state 6 on channel X” reported on Asterisk console.

Note 8 and 10 are missing. I am having problems with those channels. I am not using them to avoid a grounding issue noted by the telco.
