 I did some searching and haven't found a solution to my problem.  But 
 right now we are performing a transition from an old system to a new 
 system using asterisk and only a few people are on the new system and 
 testing it out.  Anyways, I was wondering if it is possible to dial a 
 phone number with asterisk, and then after that callee picks up to dial 
 an extension?
 
 In one forum message I found that you could use 'w' in the dial string 
 to act as a half second wait.  I tried doing:
 exten = 109,1,Dial(ZAP/g1/6525798ww109)
 This would dial the other phone system, but would not wait 3 seconds til 
 the other system answered and then dial the extension.
 
 I also tried using:
 exten = 109,1,Dial(ZAP/g1/6525798|D(109))
 But this did the same thing as the above.
 
 Is there another way to dial a number then on the same channel send 3 
 more digits after the other party answers?  Thanks.

The D() option is the correct way to do it, but only works if your
Zap interface can tell when the remote party answers. Typically, digital
lines (ISDN, T1, E1) can tell, but analogue lines can't.

Cheers
Tony

Is there a way to determine if the zap interface is able to know when 
the other party picks up?  It is connected to analog lines by the way.  
Also, is there a way that might not be as correct but would none the 
less still work?  Thanks.
