[Asterisk-Users] Outgoing call answer confirmation

[Frank N.]

Using Digium's "Asterisk Developer's Kit (TDM)",

I've been trying to make an outside call by copying sample.call to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing.
I want the VoiceMailMain to run when the call is answered.

The call is made correctly but, as you probably know,  the application starts as soon as the call is made.
I see there are two solutions:
Using callprogress=yes in zapata.conf -> Nothing happens. No ring is detected,  the asnwer is not detected, only the hangup is detected and the call fails.
Using "Answer confirmation" by entering "Channel: Zap/1c/XXXXXXX" in sample.call -> The # sign is correctly detected ans the answer is confirmed, but, it appears as if all other # sing used in the call are ignored. For instance, Comedian asks for the mailbox followed by the # sign, but the mailbox number is never acknowledge.

Does anyone have a good experience with callprogress? Should I use some other hardware? Thank you.
