I don't know what the problem is, but this is what I use and it works on my analog FXO port.

exten => _9NXXNXXXXXX,1,Dial(${PSTN}/w${EXTEN:1})

Or, in the example below,  wait before dialing?

exten => s,1,Dial(ZAP/g1/${ARG1},360) ; ARG1 is the number to be dialed


If you are using analog ports, yes.  Dial(Zap/g1/ww15551212).


exten => s,1,Dial(ZAP/g1/ww${ARG1},360) should work then?

  Why in the world would you ever want to do that anyway?


Because there is no dial tone detection on the FXO card or module
As you have seen on the list, many complaints about misdialing


Yes, a common problem. Put a w in just like above. This has been discussed on the mailing lists many times.

" Show application dial" does make reference to using w AFTER the initial number is called. Others indicate that that doesn't work correctly either. But the example above does NOT cause the FXO to go off hook, wait for 1 second ( using ww) or more with more "w" THEN begin to dial, and nothing in "show application dial" indicates any way to do so. THAT is what is needed to correct misdialings if a PSTN CO is slow to return dialtone. I have been unable to get it to pause before dialing using HEAD from 2/24/05.
Anyone have different experiences, and if so, with what flavor of Asterisk?

r: Generate a ringing tone for the calling party, passing no audio from
the called channel(s) until one answers. Use with care and don't insert
this by default into all your dial statements as you are killing call
progress information for the user. Really, you almost certainly do not
want to use this. Asterisk will generate ring tones automatically where
it is appropriate to do so. "r" makes it go the next step and
additionally generate ring tones where it is probably not appropriate to
do so.
