thx for all of your suggestions... I'm learning more about asterisk every minute :)
Barton, I tried to replace 'WaitExten' with 'Background' as you suggested, and at first was disappointed that didn't change the behavior. Than I tried Roberts suggestion, using 'Read' instead of 'WaitExten' - and again was disappointed - no change, or at least it seem asterisk didn't get every digit fo the extension, just some of them (f.e. I entered "1234", asterisk [at the console] complained that there is no voicebox "124" etc.). however, I've continued to experiment again and again, and strangely it seemed to work _some_ times, even when passing 4digit-extensions. now I think I got the solution: it seems I have to press the extension digits a little bit longer! let's say I hold each button at least 0.5sec, everything works great. if I do a quick dial, asterisk seems to "loose" digits. any ideas why this might be? looking forward to your opinions... I really start to like toying around with asterisk :) michael On 4/25/07, Steve Davies <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
