[Asterisk-Users] SIP lobby phone

[Steve Totaro]

early dial is when asterisk checks after each digit is dialed and when a
match is found, connects the call.  this requires a good dialplan since for
expample is you have and extension 150 setup voicemail for exten 15 you will
always hit voicemail and never be able to get the 0 input.

i think GS calles it off hook autodial or something to that effect.
