That has been my experience, though I am using pulsedial<br>
There seems to be some undocumented differences between versions and
flavors of Asterisk that are not yet known.<br>

And there seems to be no willingness to either fix or even consider it

Not sure why you need to "go outside" to listen in. a simple 268 style
"t" adapter for modular plugs would do. I assume you are in the US .<br>

Can't imagine what. The FXO card in it's simplest form, the X100P is a
recycled modem card using a specific chip set. <br>
How would you use a Comdial system to monitor anyway?<br>

You will want to be able to listen without starting dialtone.<br>
<br>
Any old telephone butt set or even a cheap battery powered transistor
amplifier would do as well.<br>

<pre wrap="">Unless there's some software that does it.
On the dialtone detection end of things,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=NVLineDetect">http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=NVLineDetect</a>
does seem to be available, but that would require me modifying emailing the guy and either going with cvs or modifying the gentoo ebuild I'm using (bleh).

If that will give you dialtone detection, that's probably what you will
have to do then!<br>

<pre wrap="">Of course check your dialplan first, but if that fails, monitor the
PSTN line with a buttset and/or digitgrabber, you probably will find
that Asterisk is dialing without waiting for dialtone, so the first
digit is not detected at the CO.
Some versions will allow a "w" to wait 1/2 second before starting to
dial, bur it doesn't always work, and there seems to be little
interest in detecting dialtone before dialing.
The NANP was SUPPOSED to require 7/10 digit local and 11 digit toll
dialing, but since that is now a state by state determination, there
is little "plan" left in the NANP
