asterisk users - Oct 2004 - Digits being lost going out POTS line?

When I dial out, from both my analog and my SIP phones, it fails roughly
80% of the time with various telco messages (eg., "The number you have
dialed...").  The messages take a good 30 seconds before I hear them,
which makes me think the telco isn't seeing enough digits.  20% of the
time, my calls go right through.  Any ideas?

Hi,

I'm a Asterisk newb, but have you adjusted your txgain?  If you adjust
this too far down, it can cause dropped numbers like that.  Or if you
have not adjusted it, perhaps you need to increase the txgain to make
sure the telco is "hearing" your dialing.

If the call goes through, is voice quality good and free of pops and clicks?
(esp for the receiving party)

I had a problem with a TDM card and moving it to a different slot cleared
the clicks and pops and distortions and was having the same problem dialing
out.   I had figured out that both were related and once one was fixed so
was the other.
