asterisk users - Aug 2006 - Zap difficulties

I am having a weird issue with my zap channel (Digium TDM01B). Randomly it
appears that the POTS line is not seeing all of the digits passed. We have
to dial a 1 and the area code to call most numbers here, and we get the
error that we need to dial a 1 and the area code when dialing this number
even though we are dialing it. Also when I dial 8xx numbers it never works
(same error). I do have all of those set up as allowed and routing properly
from the dial plan and I can test that by switching to a VoIP termination
and the calls go through without a hitch. I can also dial these numbers fine
if I hook a POTS phone directly to the cable that connects to the Digium
card. Asterisk looks as if it is passing the digits,
(ZAP/g0/18003569377|120|r) for example. 

 

Any clues?

 

Thanks

 

Curt

Dial(ZAP/g0/w18003569377|120)

This will put a .5 second wait before dialing to allow the telco 
equipment to get ready to receive DTMF.

Have you noticed other issues like, even when calling busy numbers, you 
hear a ringing tone for about 5.5 seconds before you hear a busy tone? 
That's because you are using the "r" option to Dial.
