asterisk users - Sep 2012 - Trouble phoning via HUAWEI E169

Hi there,

I'm setting up a Asterisk network and I ran into  some problems ... as you
might have guessed :)

The set up is like this:
Internal Communication in the company should be handled through softphones
over an asterisk server (works).
Outbound Communication should be handled through a HUAWEI E169 stick,
accessed by the chan_dongle project.
http://code.google.com/p/asterisk-chan-dongle/

When I call internal numbers, everything works fine, but when I try to
access outside, I get the following error:

I've never tried chan_dongle, but to me, the Dial statement is incorrect.
Maybe the following would be better:

exten => _0X.,n,Dial(dongle/dongle0/r1/${EXTEN},20,r)
