asterisk users - Oct 2004 - Help to connect to Mitel PBX via a T1 connection and a T100p

I have a problem which I need to resolve.  We are trying to put an asterisk
between a Mitel PBX and the world. We are adding Voip service via Asterisk.
Here is are config files for the settings but our problem is the following.

We are able to send calls to the Mitel pbx and it's the T1 connections is
green saying it's ok.  The support department from Mitel said that they use
e&M and e&M wink. with Inband signaling.  Well I need to find a way that
we
can get the dtmf from the mitel to send calls outbound. We get unable to get
dtmf and the system wants to start at s.

zaptel.conf settings

span=1,1,0,d4,ami
e&m=1-24
loadzone = us
defaultzone=us

Zapata.conf settings

[channels]
;
relaxdtmf=yes
language=en
context=default
signalling=em
context=outgoing
group=1
channel => 1-24

the system only wants to start at s extension because you have immediate yes in
the zapata.conf somewhere for group 1.  one issue is that the mitel
probably is stripping the 9 from the dial string before sending the call out
the t-1.  could you should post your extensions.conf for the outgoing
context?

somewhere in here you have an immediate=yes if the system jumps to the s
extension.  if the mitel is set for E&M wink this would need to be
signalling = em_w.  If the card in the mitel supports PRI I would strongly
suggest moving to that instead of E&M, you will get caller ID with PRI and
there are far fewer timing issues.
