Yup, when attempting to configure a menu with that character I see the following in debug during Asterisk startup.

........................[Sep 10 18:58:17] WARNING[12830]: config.c:1362 process_text_line: Unknown directive '#=dialplan_exec(teste,s,1)' at line 12 of /etc/asterisk/confbridge.conf

The pound symbol Doesn't appear to be a valid character for use in menus. This could be due to it's use in other ConfBridge features. Or else this may be somewhat of a bug as an oversight. I can't find any discussion of it in the usual places.

If anything the expected behavior should be identified and documented in confbridge.conf and on the wiki. I couldn't find anything that mentioned the # digit as an exception to the allowed DTMF digits, but I could have overlooked it.

>  * The examples in confbridge.conf show *1234567890, what about #ABCD? Should we be able to use those?
