asterisk users - Aug 2005 - delay before dial on TDM04B - continued

I tried adding wwww to my dial string... It appears to not made any 
differnece.
I see by watching show channels that the w's are there in the dial.

I have this box connected to bell south down in georgia.
I have an identical box connected in indiana. The box in indiana works fine
when dialing out.

When in GA dialout is getting "you must first dial a 1 to place this
call".
show channels tels me the 1 is present in the dial.
Or the other situation is it just rings and rings and rings....

I have changed the zapata and zaptel files from fxs_ks to fxs_gs and fxs_ls
thinking something is differnet in GA. However nothing seems to affect
the calling out.

Calls coming in seems to be ok.

Any ideas on something to try?

Thanks,

Jerry

It would be helpful to know a couple of things, as this has been my 
experience also, though others insist it works, though there is some 
disagreement as to how much delay a"w" inserts
.
1: what version of Asterisk are you using? One of the so called Stable 
versions? Or HEAD, and from what date?
2: Are you dialing DTMF or pulse?
3: Analog, through a X100P or TDM400 FXO module?

Ground start supposedly isn't supported in the X100P and TDM400 FXO modules.

Show us the exact exten=> entry that is causing the problem in GA
with the "w"'s included. Copy/paste the CLI for a sample call as
well.
