[Asterisk-Users] TDM400P FXO channel hookstate always "Offhook" &outbound digits sent before provider dialtone

[Manny A. Wise]

That's a good advice, BUT!!!!
Remember we talking *@home here, it will get overwritten every time you do a
configuration reload...
That is what I did for my cellsocket, but guess what, I had to fix it every
time I mess around with the system even adding an extension, it was soooo
annoying, that now I have two systems running, one with a at h and another
plain *... ;)   Heck at least I learn to deal with both now.. jejejejeje

&outbound digits sent before provider dialtone

Open the A at H AMP interface, click on trunks, and click on the entry  
for your ZAP trunk. Then, put 'ww' in the "Outbound Dial Prefix"
