Is it the same access code for every call? If so, have you considered just making that part of the dial string? That way when your users dialed a PSTN number, the next thing they would hear is the ringing of their called party and they wouldn't have to concern themselves with any of it. It would be just like the old Hayes Modem days of "ATDT *70,,4165551111" where commas cause a pause in dialing. In Asterisk I think it's a 'w' for a pause. When someone dials a pstn number, like 416-555-1111, you would acually dial: <gateway number>ww<access code>ww<4165551111> That's probably the worst pseudo code I've ever shared but you get the idea. You would have to adjust the commas to suit and it assumes that your provider always answers within a couple of rings. Is that an option or have I misunderstood what you're doing? Dave
