I believe I already I know the answer, but thought I would get feedback from others. One of the issues with user devices at the end Asterisk is dialing time out. This is a parameter within each hardware device. So if I set it to 3 seconds it appears from the moment after going off hook any key press starts a timer allowing me 3 seconds to enter the next number before Asterisk times out and generically says "I'm am sorry that is not a valid extension". Now this is ok, of sorts. The fault in this is when you dial a valid number you are stuck waiting 3 seconds for the system to out pulse and connect. This clearly separates Asterisk from the traditional TDM platform behavior where a time out can be REAL LONG allowed people to dial at a snail's rate without upsetting the phone system but then immediately out pulsing when a number match is met, regardless if the number match is a 4 digit extension or 7 digit phone number. Is this one of the reasons and purposes Asterisk has a "real-time" option?
