asterisk users - Jul 2005 - why zap call transfer fails?

Hi, 

I am configuring Asterisk with TDM400 card with 1 FXS and 1 FXO
module. My first goal is to allow phones to be able to call out
through the asterisk PBX.

After channels and dial plans setup, Zap/1 connect to phone and Zap/4
connect to provider , when I dial the phone, the following message
shows in the asterisk console

------------------
Starting simple switch on 'Zap/1-1'
    -- Executing Dial("Zap/1-1", "Zap/4/9999999") in new
stack
    -- Called 4/9999999
    -- Zap/4-1 answered Zap/1-1
    -- Attempting native bridge of Zap/1-1 and Zap/4-1
    -- Hungup 'Zap/4-1'
-----------------
However, there is only 1 ringtone in my phone, and it becomes silent
and eventually the call was dropped.

But reversely, if i dial my home number from a different phone, i can
reach the PBX, and then by dialing an extension, i can ring the local
phone without any problem.

I only have problem dialing out. What could be the reason?

Thanks a lot.
Michael

I tried a little more with following extension.conf

;dial out
ignorepat => 9
exten => _9.,1,Answer
exten => _9.,2,Dial(Zap/4/${EXTEN:1})

exten => 100,1,Answer
exten => 100,2,Dial(Zap/4/2197723)

dial 100 works fine, my other phone can receive the call.
 but dial 92197723 doesn't work. In theory, they should be same.
I even notice in console, asterisk prints same log messages. But the latter
just hangs after 
 -- Attempting native bridge of Zap/1-1 and Zap/4-1
and eventually hungup.

Why?

Thanks
Michael
