Dial(ZAP/g0/w18003569377|120)

This will put a .5 second wait before dialing to allow the telco 
equipment to get ready to receive DTMF.

Have you noticed other issues like, even when calling busy numbers, you 
hear a ringing tone for about 5.5 seconds before you hear a busy tone? 
That's because you are using the "r" option to Dial.
