We have 2 T1's coming from our phone switch to a digium TE220B. We have
managed to get CPN and the extension outpulsed from the switch, but call
setups are really slow.

Our T1's are set up as E&M Wink, and they send us the last 5 digits
dialed followed by the 10 digit calling party number (we couldn't get
the switch to be happy with *CPN*+5* to use featd).

We are using asterisk 1.4.19.

Watching the DTMF debugging info, it doesn't take too terribly long to
get the digits (maybe 1-1.5 seconds), but after getting the digits
asterisk waits another 3 seconds before doing anything.

In chan_zap.c, there is a 'matchdigittimeout' that is set to 3000 ms.
This appears to be more or less a constant. Would it break anything if
I shorten this to say 500 ms? Is there a better place to configure
this?

I had always used PRI's, and then a customer hit me with an E&M.

In my PRI dialplans, I always matched DNISes with "_x." which worked great
because it was a PRI. In my ignorance, I used the same pattern with the
E&M and couldn't understand why it took so long to get a match.

It took me a while to realize that I needed a finite length pattern like
"_xxxxxxx" so my dialplan wouldn't "stall" waiting for the digit timeout.

Maybe you have the same problem?

Thanks in advance,
