[Asterisk-Users] extension dialing resistivity

[Joseph]

I think you are right.
I'm using Sipura-3000 which is causing the problem; though I don't know
which setting.
I just double check my dial-plan and I don't have any sort of conflicts:
123 / 1234
where the first three digit would match any four digit in any dial plan.

The problem only occurs when someone dial IN from PSTN line. 
When I dial very slow internally it works perfectly; but when I dial IN
from PSTN line sometime it causes problem.
