asterisk users - Jul 2005 - Routing DID calls to external lines

I am trying to route incoming DID call (on a analog channel) through
Asterisk to an outside (analog) line. My extensions.conf is something like
the following:

exten => 500,1,Dial,Zap/g1/3105551010

In this case the incoming DID call extension is 500. I am able to dial out
and connect with the incoming call, however, the voice conversation is only
one way. The called party is not able to hear the calling party.

Does anyone have any suggestions of how to better route the incoming DID
calls to external POTS lines. Basically what I am trying to do is to forward
DID calls to specific external PSTN phone numbers. A one to one forwarding
scheme.

It's almost impossible to provide any answers as you haven't provided
enough config data for anyone to technically understand what you are 
currently doing or suggest alternative choices.

Include something that would show us where the DID's are coming from
(itsp, telco) and the associated *.conf entries, the actual extensions.conf
context entries used for those incoming DID calls, *.conf entries for
the external pots lines, etc.

You might also give us a clue what country the * box is located. Some
countries supply disconnect supervision on pots lines while others don't.
(There is at least some possibility what you're trying to accomplish
won't work correctly regardless of how you configure * due to the lack
of disconnect supervision on pots lines, etc.)

Try answering the line first.
Exten => 500,1,Answer()
