asterisk users - Jul 2005 - asterisk strips off trailing digit from incoming calls

so here it is, the problem that's been nagging me for the past 2 days:

connected a box to my telco's NTBA <-> zap/asterisk. which works:

box:/etc/asterisk# cat /proc/zaptel/1
Span 1: ZTHFC1 "HFC-S PCI A ISDN card 0 [TE] layer 1 ACTIVATED (F7)"
HDB3/CCS

           1 ZTHFC1/0/1 Clear (In use) 
           2 ZTHFC1/0/2 Clear (In use) 
           3 ZTHFC1/0/3 HDLCFCS (In use) 

so then I instructed asterisk to treat this as zap interface:

box:/etc/asterisk# egrep -v '(^;|^$)' zapata.conf 
[channels]
switchtype=euroisdn
signalling=bri_cpe
pridialplan=unknown
prilocaldialplan=unknown
immediate=no
priindication=outofband
overlapdial=no
usecallerid=yes
rxgain=0.0
txgain=0.0
context=inbound
callerid=asreceived
group=1
channel=1-2


defined this in the dialplan:

office:/etc/asterisk# tail -21 extensions.conf| egrep -v '(^;|^$)'
[inbound]
; my main number is "1234567",
; I am using 3-digit internal extensions
exten => _11234567XXX,1,Goto(internal-phones,$EXTEN:8,1)
exten => _XXX,1,Goto(internal-phones,${EXTEN},1)
; this acts as catch-all so dialling just the main number goes to x200
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,Goto(internal-phones,200,1)


now when I call e.g. "1234567200" from the outside, asterisk sees this
as:

-- Extension '20' in context 'inbound' from '1<some other
number>'
does not exist.  Rejecting call on channel 0/1, span 1


why does asterisk INSIST on chopping the trailing digit off the
dialled number? I don't get it.

please help!

Bernie

There's a tiny bit of new info available:

asterisk only strips off the trailing digit of calls coming from
ANALOG lines; calling from e.g. a (fully digital) gsm mobile, I get
the 3 digit extension as it should be.

does this ring a bell for anyone?
