[Asterisk-Users] '.' pattern and non-SIP phones

[Andrew Kohlsmith]

Using FWD and accessing it via this extension:

exten => _*8.,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:2}@fwd.pulver.com)

This works *perfectly* with SIP phones.  However with a regular phone 
plugged into an FXS card (PhoneJack PCI in my case) the '.' traps the first 
number dialled after *8 and tries calling that.  I've tried setting a digit 
timeout but it doesn't seem to help.

Changing that to 

exten => _*8XXXXX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:2}@fwd.pulver.com)

works, but is hardly optimal, since I plan on changing my dialplan to allow 
varied-length numbers for other things.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
Andrew
