Eric thats really a nice idea to communicate between two or more of "our"
servers.

Make the call to the remote system and send the digits in the "encoded
> string", you will need something on the other end to decode the text.


But the other end is not our's but could be any solution which requires to
feed alphanumeric DTMF that something on the other end could be
a propriety solution like CISCO as I mentioned about its alphanumeric
relay. SO, I can't ask the other end to change.

I'm having a strong feeling that I shouldn't push further into this as
Asterisk has its DTMF methods defined and those don't send Alpha-numeric.
that's it - end of line. :(
