Not sure how to do on the Cisco, but I have found that in certain setups * picks up # as %23.
Try putting *%2321%23,1,.... in the dialplan for *#21#,1,....

I have this: ; Macro to place a call to an internal number ; ${ARG1} - Extension (e.g. "300") [macro-dialexten] ; Look up divert-all number exten => s,1,DBGet(DIVERT=divertall/${ARG1}) ; Dial the diverted-to extension exten => s,2,Dial(Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED],300) exten => s,3,Hangup ; if the DBGet fails, we come here - jump to call attempt exten => s,102,Goto(1001) ; if the Dial fails or is busy, we come here - jump to busy voicemail exten => s,103,Goto(2001) On a related note, how do you get a Cisco 7940 to dial numbers with a hash in them, instead of just using the hash as a dial key. For example, I have *#21# to check diverts, but the phone will just dial "*" as soon as you type the # after it. -- PGP key ID E85DC776 - finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for full key _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
