I fixed it, the problem was that the 2nd T1 didn't have a Switch Identifyer
set.
I set the Switch Identifyer and now I can route calls to the PSTN. Merlin
has a default that a trunk with a Null Switch Identifyer is considered a CO
trunk. So the Merlin was getting confused, and routing it to the unknown
extension because it didn't want to create a routing loop
I sourced 2 documents that lead me to this conslusion, and after much
research. So I post this for the good of Humanity!

Now my only issue is that the Merlin is stripping the CID from the Tandem
connection, and only sending the area code to the PSTN.. Any sugestions
:)

Folks,
I have a Merlin Legend R7 V10.0 with a 2 100D cards.
Sorry, I feel your pain.
I have 1 card in slot 4 going to CenturyTel, and the card in slot 10
going
to a flip cable to a TE110P card in a Asterisk 1.6.x box.
I have routing setup on the Merlin to send a block of numbers to the
Asterisk.
Currently the PSTN can dial the Asterisk Extensions.
The Asterisk can dial Merlin Extensions.
The Merlin can Dial Asterisk extensions.
But the Asterisk can't dial out to the PSTN?
I have tried everything, and I'm hoping someone else can shed some light
on
this. I'm open to ideas.
I've already removed the barrier codes, and disable access code
requirements
on Tie and Non-Tie lines, with no effect.
I made sure that the Asterisk is dialing 9XXX when sending the call
over
the DAHDI trunk to the Merlin.
Whenever you call from the Asterisk to the Merlin you are redirected to
the
Unassigned Extension extension, and dropped to the Operator. I have a
suspicion that this might have something to do with the NetwkService on
the
Slot 4 100D card ( out to PSTN ).
