The other thing to know about that is the time it takes to transmit the information. When moving from a channelized T1 with 4 digits of DID to a PRI, we had enough of a difference in time in call connect that our customers commented on it. So if 4 digits of DTMF is noticeable, do you think 23 digits would be? Maybe cheaper, but you still have to watch time till connected. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
