[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Dial Out Issues - POTS Line

[Staalenburg, Juan]

I am having dial out issues and was hoping someone could shed some light.

The problem is Intermittent:

extensions.conf

[globals]
; Trunk Info for outbound calls via PSTN - See the zapata.conf file in
/etc/asterisk
TRUNK=ZAP/G1 ;Trunk Interface
;MSD digits to strip (usually 1 or 0), 1 = remove a leading 9
TRUNKMSD=1

; --------------------------------------------------
; [trunklocal] - Defines extension for local calls through trunk
; --------------------------------------------------
[trunklocal]
exten => _9NXXXXXX,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD}})
exten => _9NXXXXXX,2,Congestion

exten => _9512NXXXXXX,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD}})
exten => _9512NXXXXXX,2,Congestion
; --------------------------------------------------
; END [trunklocal]
; --------------------------------------------------


Problem Description:

I have (Qty 2) 4Port FXO Digium Cards with 8 POTS lines.

When dialing local numbers (as in 95551212) I intermittently get a message
from the operator "We're sorry your call did not go through, please hangup
and try your call again".  Other times the calls go through just fine.  It's
almost as if Asterisk is not passing along all numbers dialed (possibly
dropping the first or last digit, 555-121 or 55-1212) causing the dialed
number to not go through.  

Any ideas would be appreciated.  Could this be a problem with my Telco?
