Simplest I can think of is, 

exten => X.,1,Dial(....

if your lines are defined in a group your dial plan would look something like 
this

exten => X.,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN},60,r)

What this states is that any digit followed by any number of characters (.) is 
to be passed out
of the Zap channel (pstn phones lines) with group id 1 and ring it for 60 
seconds and generate ring tones for you sets. 

If your phones are subscribed to a context with this simple dial plan listed 
above and your are still having trouble, refer to how you have setup your 
zaptel configs.  

further more to trouble shooting beyond that set debugging on your asterisk 
console for the appropriate channel(s) in question and watch for errors or 
statements which should indicate what you have configured incorrectly.

Now some more recent versions of asterisk I have noted that the . rule is not 
been deprecated, so instead of . you might want to do exten => 
XXXXXXXXXX,1,Dial(... for any 10 digit number

Subject: [on-asterisk] RE: The Calling/Dialing  Plan
 
I've been having problems understanding the calling plan.  I am able to 
get the asterisk box to accept calls (and in the middle of creating the 
IVR directories now)...

However, For some reason I can not get it to dial an outside line.

Can someone direct me to a very simple 'dial anything' plan that I can 
build off.?  I work straight to pstn and have long distance blocked at 
the provider so long distance is not an issue.

Thomas
