asterisk users - May 2006 - auto-dail for ZAP channel, the application gets executed before the call attended

Hi All 
       when I try to use auto-dial to connect to
outside phone , my applications get executed before
the caller attend the calls , this happens only when I
call outside no , ie when I use 
Channel: ZAP/1/0507451111 in my sample.call file , if 
I use Channel:SIP/326 ,  it works  fine 
  my ?sample.call? file contains 
Channel: ZAP/1/0507451111
Callerid: Asterisk
MaxRetries: 2
RetryTime: 10
WaitTime: 60
Context: outboundmsg1
Extension: s
Priority: 1

and my ?extensions.conf? file  contains
[outboundmsg1]
exten => s,1,DigitTimeout,5
exten => s,2,ResponseTimeout,30   
exten => s,3,Answer
exten => s,4,Wait(1)
exten => s,5,Cepstral(Hi ,, Hope u are getting this
voices, It is text to Voice  conversation , did u hear
it  )  
exten => 1,1,Goto(s,5)   ; replay message
exten => 2,1,Goto(msgack,s,1) ; acknowledge message
exten => t,1,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => t,2,Hangup

                  Guidance requested , to know the
reason , why the  ?Ceptral ? application is executed ,
before the call is attended when I user ZAP channel .
But  for  SIP channel (only SIP internal call , I made
) it is working fine 
 			Thanks 
                                        Joseph John

My fix for this is to loop an audio file, requiring the answering party 
to press a key before playing a message.  If it loops for a number of 
times, without a response, hangup.

The problem is that "Answer"  for Zap channels, means that the FXO
card has accepted the call and is in process of making the call, but
that does not means that the other end (ie. the phone in the PSTN) has
already answered. Personally I have the same problem, but I have not
looked further on the code to solve it because I havent had the time.
I suggest you 3 options:

1. Wait 2 or 3 weeks, so I have some free time and came up with a fix.
2. Ask in bugs.digium.com for a feature to know this.
3. Keep looking and questioning about it in asterisk-users, may be
someone has a workaround.

Regards

I'm still trying to accomplish the same thing and a solution might come from
Newman Telecom but I'm still waiting to see. Note: I have no affiliation
with Newman Telecom but they're application code appears to be the closest
to what I'm looking for.

The problem is because asterisk needs a way of emulating answer supervision
on the FXO circuit, which it does not currently have. If you tested your
callout on a local extension or VOIP it works because it traps events
internally for all extensions. But once you do a handoff to an outside line
that's the end of asterisk knowledge base until someone out there creates an
addon patch to do answer supervision for those outside lines. The problem is
that world wide there is no standard signaling tones for ringing, busy, fax,
answering machines, etc. The indications file does a great job of defining
the basics but let's say you're in the US so * is defined for US but if
you
are calling internationally the ring back tones you receive will vary
greatly.
