The handset serving by my Sipgate line rings a couple of times now and
again - but there's no actual incoming call it seems, as nothing is recorded
under 'missed calls' on the website (the phone hasn't got caller display
unfortunately). What might be the reason for this random ringing? Using
Linksys ATA.

Another thought occurs - if there's a voicemail waiting, the handset
will ring periodically to let you know

If it's configured to do so. I turned it off on all mine, it drove me mad.
I have my voicemails sent as email attachments now.

I've got several SPA-3000's. This problem happens when there's a line
reversal which doesn't follow through with a callerid and ring signal.
It is fixed by upgrading to a more recent firmware revision.

I always knew there had to be a rational explanation ;-)

Very many thanks - its the PAP2 I have which is presumably same as or
similar to the one referred to. I'll look for an upgrade.

It can't be the same problem then, as I didn't think the
PAP2 had an exchange line phone port (although I haven't
got one).
