I'll start by mentioning that the newer Cisco SIP dumps
let you hit "#" instead of "Dial" when you're done dialing,
which I find to be much more intuitive than the "Dial"
softbutton.
Way to go cisco. Will they be making this an industry standard next?
Even if Asterisk does the overlap stuff defined in RFC 3578,
I seriously doubt you'll see the Cisco phones (or any hardware
phones, for that matter) doing it. The overlap stuff is really
designed for gateways from the PSTN, not end terminals.
SNOM phones have supported it for ages.
As a side note, I'll point out that the Pingtel phones let
you provision client-side digitmaps. Based on asterisk-like
pattern matching, you get to say how long a digit string
should be matched, and the phone will automatically dial
when it matches (no need to hit send!). You can even make
different patterns go different places, like:
972xxxxxxx : sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 214xxxxxxx : sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 489xxxxxxx : sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 1xxxxxxxxxx : sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(To clarify: Dallas has three local area codes and 10 digit
local dialing)
Still think overlap dialing is the go. I wouldn't want to be responsible for administering 3000 phones with client-side digit maps, would you?
