Unless you hack the Dial application, it is not possible to listen for arbitrary DTMF. I think the only DTMF you can do something with in the stream is '#'; provided you supply the 't' or 'T' options to Dial. That would initiate a transfer, and then you could rig up some extensions magic to begin the monitoring. Or you could try taking a look at the manager interface, if by 'typing' you meant computer keyboard and not telephone keypad. That would have the advantage of not playing music on hold to the caller while transfering to a recording mode. There would be no interruption in the call at all. --Chris -- Chris Maj, Rochester cmaj_at_freedomcorpse_dot_com Pronunciation Guide: Maj == May _______________________________________________ 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
