[Asterisk-Users] Re: 911 and Cops knocking on my door

[Miguel Ruiz Velasco Sobrino]

It may be a problem of the PSTN not catching the initial 5

change your dial string from 
DIAL(zap/1/${EXTEN})
to
DIAL(zap/1/ww${EXTEN})

note a "w" before the number, each w makes a 1/2 sec pause and you can put many of them,
so if your PSTN lags a little to give you dialtone, that probably make it. Also test
(like some one else said) with the  5 "912" XXX number, to save you a cop visit.
In a panasonic PBX, i had to put 4 of them!!.

looks like an ignorepat problem on the first *number* (single) dialed

try to make a call to 591-2079.
