From an analogue Zap channel?  Bullshit.

Analogue channels do not present the extension "in one shot" -- they present 
the digits one at a time, in sequence.  When the dialplan matches, it 
matches.  Why do you think the telco needs you to enter "1" for long 
distance?  And why do you think they're moving to ten-digit dialing for so 
many areas?

This is very very basic, standard pattern matching.  Analogue channels are 
very different from digital ones in how the desired extension or telephone 
number is presented to the switch.
