Error messages from providers are frequently misleading and inaccurate<br>
Some only use one recording for anything they think they can't process.<br>
Add at least one "w" to the dial string and see if all the misdials
don't go away.<br>
Also check the list archives for MANY such complaints<br>

<pre wrap="">But if this was the case, then why would the message playback (from the
provider) read back the digits from the start. I mean, I dialed
630-XXX-XXX and it reads back 312 (my local area code)-630-XXX-X
I would think if it wasn't waiting, then it would do like a 312-30X-XX-XX

<pre wrap="">Here's a possible bug, or more likely, I'm just missing something.
We have a pots card in one of our asterisk boxes. Its a simple
asterisk setup with one FXO/FXS card and basic static extensions
file, etc. When we dial out over the pots line, 4 out of 5 times, it
will work. However,every 4 or 5 times, we get an error back from the
provider that says "The number you have dialed..... blah blah blah".

<pre wrap="">Common defect in the Zaptel driver.
It does NOT listen for dial tone, so if you have not inserted a "w" or
three into the dial string, it will dial before the Central Office is
ready, and it may miss a digit, causing misdials.
Curious that cheap modems years ago learned to listen for dial tone,
but the Zaptel driver doesn't, and of course this is considered a
"feature request" rather than a bug, and no one seems to want to fix it.
