asterisk users - Nov 2005 - A2billing problem.The system disconnects me immediatelly after asking me the PIN

Hi,

i installed A2billing according to instructions. GUI works fine, i entered a 
new card and i put the appopriate context in my extensions.conf:

[callingcard]
exten => _123,1,Answer
exten => _123,2,Wait,2
exten => _123,3,DeadAGI,a2billing.php
exten => _123,4,Wait,2
exten => _123,5,Hangup

However when i enter the Calling card system, it did not ask my to put my 
account-code.  I found that in the a2billing.conf file there is a option for 
the intro_prompt which was empty. I put there the  prepaid-enter-card-num 
gsm file and now when i enter the calling card system i have the following 
behavior:

It asks me to enter the prepaid card number but immediatelly after it 
disconnects me with a message of "authentication failed - goodbye"...

Why the system does  not "wait" for the PIN number to be entered?

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Budoka.
