asterisk users - Jan 2004 - Using TDM400P for autodial

I have tried to get my TDM400P card to automatically dial a number or run an
application when I pick up the phone without much luck. After reviewing the
email archives, config files and source to chan_zap.c it appeared that 
all I had
to do was set "immediate=yes" in the zapata.conf file and have a
default
number
in the TDM400P's context (ex. s,1,Directory(default)).  So far I have 
had no luck.
The "simple switch" starts every time I pick up the receiver.  I have 
tried this on
today's CVS files.  Any help and examples would be greatly appreciated.

That is indeed how you get it to start in the s extension and not give
dialtone.  Perhaps you have forgotten that zapata.conf is in object
format and the immediate=yes must come before the channel definition?
Or perhaps you have forgotten to restart Asterisk after changing
zapata.conf?  For these situations, it really is helpful for you to post
the relevant section of zapata.conf.
