Hi Damon,

Thank you for your extensive answer. The SetCallerPres(prohib) in
combination with adding 'usecallingpres=yes' into zapata.conf does the
job to set CLIR so I am helped out (for now). I've added this to the
voip-ip wiki at SetCallerPres.

I see this as a kind of workaround because I am still trying to figure
out why the keypad protocol is not working as it should be.

To come back on your questions:
Yes it is an ISDN line, it is an ISDN card with HFC chipset, I use
asterisk 1.0.7 bristuffed with zaphfc module.
Switchtype: euroisdn
Signalling: bri_cpe_ptmp   (immediate=no, overlapdial=yes)
Internally I have also ISDN HFC but in NT mode, this is where i
originate the call from. In the logging this is the Zap/2-1 channel.

Here is the log when I use the *31* in the dial command:

-- Accepting voice call from '1001' to 's' on channel 0/2, span 1
    -- Executing NoOp("Zap/2-1", "") in new stack
    -- Executing Answer("Zap/2-1", "") in new stack
    -- Executing Playtones("Zap/2-1", "dial") in new stack
    -- Executing ResponseTimeout("Zap/2-1", "15") in new stack
    -- Set Response Timeout to 15
  == CDR updated on Zap/2-1
    -- Executing Dial("Zap/2-1", "Zap/4/*31*") in new stack
    -- Requested transfer capability: 0x10 - 3K1AUDIO
    -- Called 4/*31*
    -- Zap/4-1 is making progress passing it to Zap/2-1
    -- Channel 0/1, span 2 got hangup

to forward voice
    -- Hungup 'Zap/4-1'
  == No one is available to answer at this time

The debug log shows this (I wonder where the conferencing log is
coming from because I don't use conferencing ??)
