[asterisk-users] Problem with DTMF dialing

[Ian]

Hi all,

its been quite a busy few day with pc's packing up etc, I recompile my 
whole asterisk today using zaptel 1.4.7.1 and now the problem is 
miraculously fixed, I will be sending this report to Digium bugs as well.

Just a quick heads up for the order in which I had to recompile in order 
for this to work

   1. Recompile Zaptel
   2. Restart Asterisk, asterisk doesn't pick up the zap channels
   3. Recompile Libpri
   4. Retart Asterisk, still no zap channels
   5. Doing the thing I was hoping to skip, Recompile Asterisk
   6. Everything in working order

Did I miss something for me to have to only recompile zaptel, or is that 
the way of doing things?

Thank you all for your support

Please scroll down to see the answers to my own stupid questions :-)

Regards
Ian

Btw I found the right command, I just had to do a bit of READING the 
usage when doing ztmonitor

The puase is still there though, but atleast it dials now.
