I think this might be a problem peculiar to Asterisk @ home, since I  
cannot get my install to accept pulsedial=yes, either. Even though I  
have tried specifying pulsedial=yes in zapata.conf before the  
channel=> line and also in zapata-auto.conf, as well as in  
zapata_additional.conf (along with the extension's config), none of  
the above work. (I figured I'd try everywhere, even if it didn't make  
any sense...)

Anyhow, if I connect to the Asterisk console and run "zap show  
channel 1", it reports "Pulse phone: no" even though "pulsedial=yes"  
is specified. I don't know how A at H/AMP would have modified zaptel to  
break this, but it is indeed possible that this is an A at H specific  
problem.
