[Asterisk-Users] TDM400P/TDM22B dialing issue

[Chris Hertz]

First time installing Asterisk and I have a strange problem with my
TDM400P(TDM22B) card.  When I attempt to dial out the first digit seems to
intermittently get dropped.  For example, I will make a call to 18882467555
and the first time it will connect and then the next time it will tell me to
dial a 1 before dialing a number outside my calling area.  This happens for
any of the calls that I try to make through the system.  The only thing I
can think of is that the line I am dialing out on has voicemail on it and
does a stutter tone when you first pick it up.  Would this cause the problem
(and if so, is there a way to program a delay into the call with a comma)?
Any other ideas for a newbie as to why this is happening?  Thanks!  -Chris
