[asterisk-users] TDM400 and analog phone - can't dial

[Kovar Petr]

Hi Jerry, THANKS A LOT.
I viewed configuration files so many times, but I had to be blind so I
didn't noticed that mistake. I was solving this problem for almost two days
with no success... thanks a lot again. :)

It can sound weird, but I cannot wait for Monday when I go to work... :D
