You also missed what appears to be another set of problems.

Specifically, it appears that he is using a TDM card to dial an external
adapter for Vonage. So that means you enter the digits yourself, then
asterisk enters them on the analog line to the adapter, then it has to
signal it out to the far side. So there is a possibility that there is
also a pattern match problem on the vonage SIP device
