Which FXO? An X100p or a TDM400?

Have you tried creating an extension which dials the FXO with your
comfort access string explicitly on your behalf. This might solve the
timing issue? It would also be worth listening in parallel with the
exchange line when you dial to ensure that the "*" is actually
being
passed as DTMF.
