Summary:                    pulsedial=yes does not work
Description: 
Setting pulsedial=yes in zapata.conf does not work. I added debugging
statements in process_zap and the file is being parsed properly, and the
field  confp->chan.pulse is being set correctly. However, the value is
being reset to 0 somewhere, and so it only tries to tone dial. I added an
extra line so 'zap show channel' will print the value of that field, and it
is 0.

This is on Debian Etch. When I was using 1.2.x, it worked fine.

WORKSFORME. Have you actually tried dialing?

But I can easily understand why you were confused.

You seem to be confusing two items in the zt_pvt / dahdi_pvt struct (the
structure that defines a Zaptel/DAHDI hardware channel).

pulse: 
  send pulse tones to this phones. Meaningful only in places where we 
  dial to channels that can accept pulse dialing (analog FXO channels, 
  basically).

pulsedial:
  The phone is sending me pulses rather than DTMF digits. Applicable
mostly 
  to analog FXS channels.

"Pulse phone" in 'zap show channels' shows the value of 'pulsedial'. I
wonder if 'dahdi show channels' show show different vlaues for FXO channels
to redue confusion.

Leaving it open for now just because I got confused enough until I figured
it works for me.
