Bill,

I personally had a hard time working with a telco's provisioning. Usually
they have some switch (soft or hardware and you have to make all the tweaks
and tricks cisco router to work with their device)
There is one more option to tag a call as international without adding 011.
On your serial interface Serial0:23 (or whatever is your D channel)
configure:

isdn map address * plan isdn type international

Instead * you can set up reg. expression like ^44* - any number starting
with 44.... tag it as international. This will work as long as telco switch
recognize this Q931 attribute.

Thanks,
Nick

Subject: International Dialing over PRI

I am trying to use a PRI as a backup link to dial to London in case of main
link failure. I am using a dialer string command with the international
code+ country code + phone number. The problem is that if I add the
international code 011, the Telco switch sees it as international and tries
to add another 011, and if I leave off the 011, the switch sees the call as
unknown and doesn't know what to do with it. It seems this is only happening
when trying to dial the UK. My question is.... Are there any commands on the
router that I can use to change how the telco switch will see the call
coming in? They say that they can't do anything on their end. I think it
would have to be some setting in their switch (switch-type is primary-ni)

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill
