asterisk users - Feb 2008 - cannot dial out with latest zaptel and kernel 2.6.24

Hi.  I am using asterisk 1.4 (latest as of today) and zaptel 1.4
(latest as of today) and I cannot dial out using my 400P card with one
fxs module and one fxo module.  I am using kernel 2.6.24 and get the
following log entries:
[Feb 25 17:28:13] VERBOSE[25071] logger.c:     -- Executing [s at
macro-dialout-trunk:23] Dial("Zap/1-1",
"ZAP/4/www411|300|wW") in new stack
[Feb 25 17:28:13] DEBUG[25071] chan_zap.c: Dialing 'www411'

[Feb 25 17:28:14] VERBOSE[25071] logger.c:   == Everyone is busy/congested at
this time (1:0/0/1)

Any assistance on this would be appreciated.

It looks like you might be hitting a regression with DTMF tone 
generation in the latest zaptel releases.

The running commentary on this issue is at:

Could you try using zaptel version 1.4.7.1 and see if that helps?

It looks like this might have been a combination of zaptel generating 
battery alarms which asterisk 1.4 didn't recognize.

Could you try updating just zaptel and see if you still see the alarm?
