asterisk users - Sep 2004 - digitnetworks card issues?

Hi,
    I've purchased two x100p clones, and when I try accessing a  line 
from asterisk with something like this:

exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(Zap/2/{$EXTEN})
(is that only supposed to put you on channel 2 or actually dial the # 
for you?)

but I first hear noise, then a dial tone, but as soon as I start dialing 
numbers I get feedback and noise, and the call doesn't go through.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Imran

Have you contacted digitnetworks for support?  This list is owned and
maintained by Digium, who already gave you Asterisk for free.  Probably
not the best forum to ask for support for a competitive product here.

Throw them away and get Digium cards.

B.

I have the same hardware (x2)

/etc/zaptel.conf file

fxsks=1-2
loadzone=au
defaultzone=au

/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf file

[channels]
language=en
context=inbound
group=1
musiconhold=default
; need these much shorter than defaults
flash=90
signalling=fxs_ks
threewaycalling=yes
transfer=yes
echocancel=yes
echocancelwhenbridged=yes
echotraining=yes
;busydetect=no
busydetect=yes
;busycount=6
callprogress=no
channel => 1
channel => 2

from /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf

exten => _X.,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN})

I had some noise issues at first, and then I used a decent shielded cable
between the cards and the wall socket and that cleared it up...

YMMV.

Cheers,
  Peter
