The problem you are having is due to the way chan_phone was designed.
The distributed driver does not buffer the entire phone number dialed and then send it on to the PBX,
like a SIP phone would, but instead scans the dial plan after every digit is entered to look for a match.
The solution is to only use fixed length extension patterns, but at the same time requires different dial plans
for the Phone/phoneX devices. I you're only dialing PSTN numbers it's not so bad, but many VOIP providers
have all kinds of numbering plans. On the other hand, fixed patterns are nice since you don't have to
press any "call" or "dial" buttons to make the call.
I have a new chan_phone driver which solves this issue by buffering the dial string until the user presses
the pound (#) key to send the phone number to the pbx. The features can be toggled on/off any time by dialing
*1# or *0# or in the config file with a mode "buffered" which is otherwise the same as "dialtone"

Greetings,
I'm having a miserable time getting Asterisk working with FWD. All the samples show something like...
exten => _7., ....
How do I get Asterisk to wait until the user is finished dialing instead of trying as soon as it gets the second digit?
I can use _7XXX, and dial the FWD 3-digit test numbers fine, but I'd like to be able to dial others...
Same problem for outside analog line...how do I convince Asterisk to send anything that starts with a "9" to it?
If it makes a difference, I'm playing with some QuickNet cards to learn the system...then I'll likely buy some other cards with higher capacity.
Thanks,
Eric
