asterisk users - Feb 2006 - international calling via POTS in Russia

Hi,

I'm having a problem calling international numbers with debian's
Asterisk 1.0.7 w/ zaptel 1.0.9 in Moscow. Russia doesn't seem to have
touchtone dialing, so pulsedial is enabled on my TDM400P interface.
Local numbers work fine, but when it comes to long distance or
international, I'm lost.

The prefix for these should be 8 (wait for dialtone) 10 (country code)
(city code) (phone number). I've tried with 8w10, 8p10 and even
Dial(Zap/g1/8||D(10${PHONENUM})), but nothing seems to work, I get
either dead air (first 2 methods) or a plain dialtone (for the last).
The Asterisk console shows that exactly the desired number has been 
dialed.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading this mail.

P.S. Sorry if this turns out to be a double post, my provider's smtp server
has
sometimes serveral days' delays.

Hello,

There're few POTS supporting touchtone, others - just pulse. In
Russia you need to dial 8, wait for tone and only then continue
dialing 10 (for intl. plan), country code, area code and number.
