As I understand it, ACM is equivalent to the PRI PROCEEDING message, 
which means that the number dialed is indeed a valid number and 
something is being done with it (but exactly what is not indicated). 
So, at least in chan_zap as it exists right now, when we receive an ACM 
message, we pass an AST_CONTROL_PROCEEDING back into the core.  If this 
is incorrect behavior and someone has some documentation to prove that, 
I certainly would like to see this corrected.

One thing you might want to do is to update your libss7 version (as we 
are now at rev 144, as well as your Asterisk version.

Another thing that you could try is to add the 'r' flag to your Dial() 
statement, as that will cause ringing to indicate pretty much regardless 
of what's going on.
