[asterisk-users] TDM Cards or PSTN>VOIP Gateways?

[Lee Jenkins]

OK, I think I may have found the problem for myself at least.  Actually, 
a friend of mine suggested it.  Apparently, Asterisk is a little too 
fast for the card.

Placing a "w" in front of the number to insert a pause looks like it did 
the trick!

Dial(ZAP/1/w5555555)

Looks like it gives the card a chance to come online?

So, at least in this case, it was not that Asterisk was keeping the line 
open (which I doubted based on the fact that I could call into that line 
anytime) but instead that the card was not coming on line fast enough 
and Asterisk was just pushing part of the phone number to dial to the card.

My thanks to Rick Neubaurer who suggested the fix.
