[Asterisk-Users] AT&T access code entry by Asterisk

[Walker Haddock]

Thanks again Tilghman!  You've done it again.

That did it!  I needed 10 seconds of delay.  I put in 20 `w`s.  It worked!

So, to have * dial a long distance access code, insert the .5 second wait token `w` or `W` in the dial string.  Here is the exten record that I was successful with:

exten => _91NXXXXXXXXX,1,Dial(ZAP/g1/${EXTEN}wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww5555555,70)

Yes, there are 20 `w` tokens.  It waits 10 seconds and then dials the ld access code.

I'll leave the remaining attached for documentation.
