[Asterisk-Users] Zaptel Dial Out Issues

[Bryan Vyhmeister]

I am running asterisk 1.0-RC1 with zaptel 1.0-RC1 on Trustix 2.1 on with 
a TDM400P with one FXS and three FXO modules. I am having intermittent 
problems when I try to dial out from any of my Cisco 7960 or 7940 SIP 
phones. I have my two analog lines configured in zapata.conf as follows:

signalling = fxs_ks
context = default
echocancel = yes
echocancelwhenbridged = yes
relaxdtmf = yes
immediate = no
busydetect = no
callprogress = no
usercallerid = yes
callerid = asreceived
;stripmsd = 1
group => 2
channel => 2-3


(NOTE: I was using ${EXTEN:1} in extensions.conf to strip out the 9 
until that stopped working so I tried using stripmsd=1 in zapata.conf 
which worked for a while but has now stopped functioning so I am back to 
${EXTEN:1}.)

extensions.conf contains the following:

ignorepat => 9
exten => _9NXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/g2/${EXTEN:1},70,t)
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/g2/${EXTEN:1},70,t)


I find that sometimes I can dial out without issues and others it seems 
like only some of the digits get out and eventually the line times out 
with "your call cannot be completed as dialed." Are there known issues 
with TDM400P cards not always dialing out properly? It bothers me that 
this is an intermittent problem. Right at the moment I cannot dial out 
at all. Earlier I could dial a 743XXXX number but not a 588XXXX number. 
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
