[Asterisk-Users] Outbound dialing issue with FXO

[Phill Wolf]

I wish the card (or Asterisk) waited for the dialtone before dialing. 
Sometimes the phone company gives a dialtone within 1 second; other times it 
takes 2 seconds and occasionally 3 seconds or longer. Crufting a large 
number of w's into the dialplan makes Asterisk seem pokey, but less cruft 
means more rejected or wrong-number calls. Hayes modems can wait for a 
dialtone... so perhaps Asterisk could too.
