that was driving me nuts. But still, if no one answers, i need to write something like
an acknowlage requirement that will let me know.
thanks for your help, i am a little closer now.

OK, so you are calling out via a Zap channel. Is this an analogue line
or a digital line?
I suspect it is an analogue line, in which case it can be tricky to tell
when the line has been answered at the other end. I believe the default
is for Asterisk to consider the line answered as soon as the call is
placed.
There is experimental support for call progress detection, which can
be enabled in /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf (look for the "callprogress"
option). However, I don't know anything about it, having never used it.
The only way to make this really reliable is to use a digital interface,
either BRI or PRI.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Tony
