Summary:                    [patch] Sending out unnecessary PROCEEDING messages
breaks overlap dialing
Description: 
chan_dahdi sends out a PROCEEDING message as soon as a call has a match in
the dialplan.
I think sending this message is unnecessary and can be harmful.
I think it should only be sent when Dial() is called with a definitive
destination.

So far I thought chan_dahdi was unable to do outgoing overlap dialing, but
I just found out that it does, but sabotages itself.

If you have an
exten => _N!,1,Dial(dahdi/g1/${EXTEN})
and use overlap dialing, the trouble is that you get a PROCEEDING after
you dialed the first digit which will tell the phone that dialing has
finished.

Indeed. Adding a Hangup() fixes the wrong cause thing.
Actually I don't even get a PROCEEDING any more either, but I guess that
might be due to the patch by alecdavis.

Now I sit and wonder what's going on. I realised I didn't have
autofallthroug=yes, but setting that does not make a change.

I have to admit I'm a little lost here.
Is that something that goes on inside chan_dahdi?

But still the cause values don't make sense.
