asterisk users - Feb 2005 - Astersik CVS HEAD + T1 e&m wink + IAX client doesnt detect call answered on Zap channel

Hello,

I've got very annoying behaviour from our asterisk PBX.
We have 12 channels T1 e&m wink start for TDM and using iax softphones
internally (iaxcomm, but tried firefly-thirdparty and discarded for
bad sound quality).
Slackware 9.1 w/ kernel 2.4.26+ digium TE110P card.

In some cases when call is placed from softphone to TDM, system does
not detect call answered on Zap channel and I'm getting "ring"
sound
along with the normal sound from answered call. For some numbers it
reproduces in 100% cases and for some the answered call detection is
delayed - I'm getting asterisk "ringing" sound then double -
asterisk
+ PSTN "ringing" sound then when call is answered - 2 or 3 asterisk
'ringing" sounds.
I was thinking that this could be low level on  on Zap channels but
changing rxgain in zapata.conf doesn't change anything,s oas disableng
ignorepat =>9.

The only workaround I could employ now is to place Answer(150) before
dialing out on trunk group (Zap/g1) but that eliminates Rinign sound
completely which is also inconvenient - the calling party doesn't know
if call is placed or not.
my /etc/zaptel.conf 

span=1,1,0,esf,b8zs
e&m=1-12
loadzone = us
defaultzone=us

my /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf

[trunkgroups]

/etc/asterisk/extensions.conf (with workaround)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,2,Dial(${TRUNK}/${EXTEN:${TRUNKMSD}})
exten => _91NXXNXXXXXX,3,Congestion


Is there any mistakes in configuration or proper solutions to this problem?

thank you.

Play around with the wink= and rxwink= options in 
/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf.  Try setting rxwink=200 and wink=200 and 
stop and start Asterisk.  It looks like asterisk is not seeing a wink 
from the telco.

Do NOT use busydetect or callprogress options.
