I keep finding stuck channels in asterisk / FreePBX conferences, that I then have to manually hangup.
Here is how you find the calls
core show channels
This will bring up a list if channels in use. Identify the one you need to hangup i.e.
PJSIP/itsptrunk-00000002
Then issue command
channel request hangup PJSIP/itsptrunk-00000002
The call will then drop and you have killed the call.

I have tended to find that documentation for Asterisk and FreePBX based phone systems can be rather spread about. For the generic phone user what codes should they use? Here is a helpful list.
*52 – Call Forward No Answer/Unavailable Activate
*53 – Call Forward No Answer/Unavailable Deactivate
*740 – Call Forward Toggle
So how do you call forward to voicemail? This is one point that seems to escape all the guides. Calls can be sent direct to a users voicemail by putting a * in front of their extension number, so you can forward direct to voicemail by dialling *72 *ext. e.g. if my extension is 1002 I can dial *72 *1002 to do the forward.
Turning the prompting on and off turns on and off the voice responses that walk you through it and confirm your actions.
*70 – Call Waiting – Activate
*71 – Call Waiting – Deactivate
*8 – Asterisk General Call Pickup (When you are part of a call group)
** – Directed Call Pickup (When you are part of a call group)
*2 – (When in a call) Asterisk Attended Transfer
## – (When in a call) Asterisk Blind Transfer
** – (When in a call) Asterisk Disconnect Code
*1 – (When in a call) Asterisk Toggle Call Recording
