Don't waste time trying. I'm even surprised that you could get it to 
work with 1.0.3.x. In my experience, if the dial string was longer than 
4 or 5 digits, GS pooped out. It's even worse in the later revisions, 
pooping out after 3 digits. It still is not fixed in 1.0.5.0. You could 
use it if all of your dial strings are 3 0r fewer digits - not much use 
really.  GS knows about the problem, has verified on my * server, has 
indicated that they will fix it. It just requires patience on our part. 
The fix is apparently not a very high priority - true really, since it's 
failure is merely a convenience issue of not having to wait for the last 
key timeout.
