[ first of all, take a deep breath and stop shouting...]

You will have problems anyway, because the modem will simply hang up
on your callers after seven seconds even if they are still talking
if it thinks the caller is silent.

I can put in a #define to `fix' this, but I really think that this
is a kludge. Oh well...

Here's a temporary fix until the next release:

    nblk = silence/10 + 1;
    blksize = datarate[compr];

    cur_blk = blk_base = (char *)malloc(nblk * blksize);

/* put in this line to turn off silence removal */
    blk_base = 0;
/************************************************/

    if( !blk_base ) {
        lprintf( L_WARN, "not enough memory for ring buffer, continuing" );
        /* DON'T exit, just deactivate the ring buffer */
    }
