pap2t config?

[dswartz]

One bummer: I have voipstreet, vitelity and callcentric as backup outbound trunks. I can force a call on them by dialing 11 digits with 3, 4 or 5 respectively instead of the leading '1'. Works fine (up until now). With the dialplan pattern matcher in the pap2t (standard sipura deal), this collides with the 7-digit pattern I had used ([2-9]xxxxxx). Apparently, if I try to dial out using, say, callcentric, I would dial '5508384xxxx' to call my kids at my ex's house. Unfortunately, this is (I infer) ambiguous, so the pap2t sends my asterisk server the dial string '5508384', as a 7-digit number. Asterisk then prefixes '1508' to it and tries to dial that. This worked with my old IAXy, since it has no concept of dial patterns. It also (still) works with my SNOM office phone, since it has no concept either - it dials only when you hit the dial button and sends the whole string. The main point of having the extra providers was for redundancy, but being anal, I wanted to be able to force calls out the other providers. I still have that, but can't now use that from the home cordless handsets. Am I missing something here? If not, I'll just learn to live with it (for now, I've restored 7/11 digit dialplan force the pap2t, and forget forcing calls out the other trunks - yes, I know I could add some unambiguous prefix like '*9' or something, as long as it doesn't collide with existing feature codes...

Hmmm, I had had 7-digit dialing with S1 on the end and I found a post that said that might not be enough, so I should increase it to 2 seconds with S2. I did, and now I can dial 7 digits or 11 digits, with 1-5 as the lead digit. Yay. Merry Christmas everyone...
