Daniel,

Yes, dialer-list and dialer-group were both there.

Thanks,

    Hi Joe,
I went through the same experience. One question,
when you added the dialer map to R1 with no number did you also add
"dialer-group 1" and a
global dialer-list? This seemed to fix the problem
for me. Let us know. Thanks.
