Unable to dial *0 on zap extension?
Submitted by dswartz on Wed, 07/01/2009 - 9:50am.
I finally migrated my asterisk config to the pbx in a flash system. Tried calling my girlfriend (speed dial 1, which is *01). Fast busy. Checked the dial plan and it should have worked. Tried from my office phone (polycom SIP). Works fine. WTF? Googled around and found one post by someone else late last year with the same symptom, but no followup. I'm assuming this is some zaptel breakage? So, I start looking at the asterisk code (1.4/zaptel and 1.6/dahdi both do this), and found the zap/dahdi drivers implement various vertical service activation codes internally. *0 means 'flash trunk on a bridged call'. Freepbx (which pbx in a flash uses) sets *0 as the speed dial prefix. I could change this, I suppose, but I'd like to understand why this is even there, and how (if at all) I can disable all of this (freepbx generates a dialplan that does all the VSA stuff - I don't see why it is in the driver?) Any ideas?

i'm assuming there is no (good) way to tell chan_zap to keep its fingers off the star codes, so i changed the speedial prefix :(
