Thanks for your suggestion to upgrade the firmware. I did just that,
and lo and behold the option "Off Hook While Dialling appeared".

Interestly, now when the SPA3000's PSTN port detects ringing, it rings
my IP phone at home without going off-hook as I wanted, but it doesn't
even go off-hook when I answer it! If I leave it to go off-hook whilst
calling (as it used to), then the call is fine. It just means my PABX
won't hunt to the next PABX extension if I don't answer the IP phone
at home. Ho Hum!

I've also set up IP back-to-back dialling from one to the other, which
seems to be more reliable than going through a SIP server.

Thanks for your help,

Chris
