[Asterisk-Users] wait before accepting the call

[ChB]

this doesn't work - as soon as the call is handled by an extension it is
'accepted' - but the call should be prolonged _before_ it is
'accepted'. the zap-channel should not connect a incoming call before a
given timeframe has elapsed. currently my asterisk configuration only
accepts ddi's in 'blocked' form, a phone has to send the whole ddi at
once, only then asterisk receives the whole number and i can process it
in my dialplan. in austria a official voip-numbers have 10 ciphers
(national format), e.g. 0720012345. when i dial a ddi, e.g.
0720012345999 from a standard simple pstn-phone, only the first 10
digits are received by asterisk, the attached direct dial 999 is not.
my telco told me to hold the call for 5 seconds before accepting, so
all numbers can be transmitted. of course this doesn't work if i only
add a wait-extension. btw: the telco says they can only configure a min
and a max number of ciphers they accept, i think this setting currently 
ranges from minimum 4 to maximum 15 ciphers.

i guess this should/could be configured at the zapata side of asterisk,
but i have no idea how and where. that's why i'm asking(and i hope i
described the issue comprehensible) ;-) 
all other proposals on how to receive ddi's are very welcome of course.
and yes, you can assume that i don't understand the pstn-concept ;-)

best regards
christian
