I did take a quick look at it, but the header indicated that DISA
allows incoming calls to dial back out. I am just trying to emulate
the feel of our current PBX which will just connect us to an outgoing
line (with a dialtone) when we hit 9. (Though I don't want asterisk to
mimic that behavior because I want to be judicious about which outgoing
channels are used depending on the number dialed.)
Am I mistaken on the use of DISA?

I get the 9 and start PlayTones().
I go to the next context (with the tones playing).
In the next context (tones still playing) my matches are all several
digits long, so the tone is playing as the digits are pressed. That

disorienting because that usually happens on a broken line.
However, if you notice how Background() works, it will play the sound
file and still accept input. Once it gets the first input key it will
stop playing and begin its matching.
That is exactly the behavior I want.
Now, I thought I could do playtones() and then match the just first
input number (0, 1, or N). On 0, 1 or N (in separate extensions, of
course), I would stopplaytones() and then goto() the next context
(international, long distance, local -- respectively).
The int and ld contexts are straightforward, but the new local context
needs to know which extension was dialed (the 'N') to complete the
calling. I tried that yesterday and got frustrated at the resulting
complexity of trying to do such a simple and inconsequential thing. I
figured that the cost outweighed the benefit and I need to get this
prototype going so that we can move into full launch.
This dialtone issue needs to become a tier 2 or tier 3 feature.
Have you not looked at the DISA application (command) yet? That seems
to me to be a much better solution to your problem.
