Summary:                    DAHDI takes considerably longer than Zaptel to
complete call
Description: 
I'm actually on 1.4.25-rc1 on OpenSuse 11.0.  My test box is a Dell
Poweredge 1550 and my production box is a Poweredge 1650.  test box uses
TDM400P and prod box uses TDM410P.  Configuration was set up on test box
then copied to prod box.  To make an outgoing call using the 1.4.21 release
with Zaptel took 3-7 seconds.  On my test box, call takes about 8 seconds
to connect.  on the production box, it takes 18-20 seconds.

Well, your "9" extension may just be a prefix for another extension so
Asterisk won't execute Dial immediately as you press 9 (because it will be
looking for more digits to check what extension you want to dial). With
softphone you won't have this problem at all because as soon as you click
"Call" button, Asterisk knows the whole number and does not wait for
anything more.

If you really want to test the thing with analog phone, make you need to
create and extension which you know for sure can not be a prefix of some
other extension. Something like:

exten => 9#,1,Answer
exten => 9#,n,Dial(DAHDI/G1)

and look at Asterisk console - as soon as you hit # after 9, it should
_immediately_ execute Answer+Dial.
