isdn4linux -> dialling uses (my) local area code



,bnj mkvfgsdzh jmklhzsdcfr

I'm sorry, that was me beating my head against the keyboard in frustration.

Here are the relevant parts of the config files:
#isdn.conf
[GLOBAL]
COUNTRYPREFIX=+
AREAPREFIX=0
COUNTRYCODE=49
AREACODE=89

#device.ippp0
LOCALMSN=089***        # my number
REMOTEMSN=109000191799 # Viag Interkom
LEADINGZERO=''         # Have to use this here, otherwise the 
                       # remotemsn becomes 0109... which is incorrect

So the problem is that my ISP, Dog bless them, have a different area code to me. This shouldn't be a problem, should it? I don't believe that the folks who wrote isdn4linux didn't consider the possibility (AFAIK this is normally the case in the UK, for example, where ISPs tend to be 0845-something). This basically means I am either stupid, going blind, or both, because I can't find anything in the FM. What happens is (from isdnlog):-

Fri Dec 08 18:13:54 outgoing * HDLC -> +49 89/109000191799, München  RING (Data)
Fri Dec 08 18:13:54 outgoing HDLC -> +49 89/109000191799, München  Unallocated (unassigned) number (Public network serving local user)
Fri Dec 08 18:13:54 outgoing HDLC -> +49 89/109000191799, München  HANGUP Unallocated (unassigned) number (Public network serving local user)

i.e. isdn4linux puts the f*cking areacode on the outgoing number, which might be perfectly correct in most cases but not in this one.
