[asterisk-dev] Asterisk start handle a call after 3 seconds

[asterisk at nicox.org]

Hi,

Now i tried this out and made some other tests.

I have seen, asterisk does not make overlap dial?
If overlap dial is activated, asterisk waits for digits before it resolve 
the dialed string in extension.
If i try it with !, overlap is no longer working.

In my mind, overlap has to be forwarded to the dialed destination, and not 
waiting before do anything.

thanks for help.
