Hey guys.

As you may have seen in the buy and sell forum, I was looking for a T1 module for the ACS.

Well, now I have one, and I'm a little stuck on something.

I have a test rig set up with the module in the leftmost slot of a 5 slot carrier, ACS 6.0 processor in the middle and nothing else. I have a crappy netbook running XP so I can use the remote admin software, connected to a USB to serial adapter, connected to a USR 56K modem. Sigh. That part all works.

What I can't figure out: I set up all 16 available lines, plugged a T1 crossover cable from my asterisk box to the partner. So far so good. If I pick up any of the lines on the T1 module, I get dial tone from my switch. What I can't get my head around is why the partner won't send digits until after like an 8 second delay. Anything I dial in the first 8 seconds is just ignored, and no tones are heard when dialing, then I can dial normally and the call completes just fine.

I want to make sure I get this right before I plug the module into my main system.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
