[Asterisk-Users] Internal Lines Dialing Out

[Bruce Marler]

* Gurus,

I have been trying, with mixed results, to setup an * server as a pbx in my
home. Internal dialing works great, sip phone to sip phone and 1 fxs phone
to sip phones, as well as inward dialing ringing all extensions then going
to vmail. All great.

But, when I try to dial out I run into issues, I have taken a look at the
docs and the wiki and none of the tips have solved my problems.

I have 1 fxs port and 1 fxo port (both digium cards) and as I said dial in
works from the pstn.

I want to dial my local extensions, but also be able to dialout my fxo port
for anything not local, adding a 9 to be able to dial out is not an option
(wife and kids would be all messed up:)

FYI, also, if i set immediate=yes in my zapata.conf i can get straight dial
tone and dial out but that does me little good since i am trying to get the
value of dialing ext to ext in the house.

All help is truly appreciated.

Here is my extensions.conf file


[general]
static=yes
writeprotect=yes
