[Asterisk-Users] Dialing an extension during Dial()

[programmer_ted]

I think he was referring to allowing the user to enter an extension while 
the other phone is still ringing (before it's picked up).  I don't think 
this functionality is already included (even after pressing #), so I'm 
going to add it.  I agree that it would be nice to allow extensions to be 
entered without pressing the # button first, but I think that's in there so 
that accidentally pressing a button won't transfer the call.
