[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk, X-Lite, and * and # keys

[Brian Wilkins]

I had the same problem with XLite a couple days ago. I couldn't find a 
workaround, but every so often the XLite client would pass the * and # and 
sometimes it would send it as a %23. It's possible to send * and # through 
XLite to Asterisk, but it occasionally works.
