Click on "Advanced" settings. I bet you have "Treat PSTN prefix as optional" checked. If you are adding a new rule it's *not* the default - i.e. the PSTN prefix is *not* optional. But if you use Northern American template it is marked there as optional: just because these were the defaults before sipXconfig even existed :-) If people think that Northern American template needs changing we can certainly do that.
