Hi, I am running Asterisk@Home v2.8, with a Digium TDM400P Rev I board that has one FXS and one FXO interface. This system is in use at my home, so it’s not really getting a ton of use or anything. For the most part, everything seems to work as expected. I’ve set up an IVR for all inbound phone calls (with the zapateller for those not-so-wanted callers) that routes to my phone with a “hidden” keypress that I only tell people I want to call me at the phone. The inbound stuff seems to work as expected when I test it from my personal cell phone to my Asterisk System, as far as routing to voicemail etc.
The problem my system is having is with respect to outbound calling. I have one POTS line from Qwest coming into the house that I have hooked up to my FXO port on the card. Whenever I try to dial out to an external extension, I would always get the “Your call can not be completed as dialed” errors from Qwest. Eventually I just put a Ziad (digit grabber) in between the FXO jack and the POTS line, to see what my server was dialing. Well, it was really strange, because what it would do is lose some of the digits that I dialed, then also repeatedly dial random digits on the end nonstop. Example, say I dial 912063334444 (9 for the external trunk I have configured), the Ziad would report that I was dialing 1203334444972921094720917429018975201827 (this is about when the Qwest prompt comes in). While the # I have included is obviousy fake, I always notice that the last digit in the area code is always removed and the digits that follow seem to change every time I dial and have no rhyme or reason.
I’m not sure if I’ve fried my board, got a faulty config, or what, but I’m at a total loss to explain how that could be happening. I’ll include the text for my zaptel.conf, zapata.conf, zapata_additional.conf, and a verbose Asterisk CLI output (level 10) of an example dial. Please let me know if there is anything else you would like me to attach or if I need to include more details; any help would be greatly appreciated. I think if I can get this outdial thing fixed I’ll have a completely working system!

(Asterisk CLI output, verbose level 10, I have purposefully replaced the dialed phone # with X characters, all other text left alone. The logs never show the extra/missing DTMFs that my digit grabber shows, not sure why)
