I had always used PRI's, and then a customer hit me with an E&M.

In my PRI dialplans, I always matched DNISes with "_x." which worked great 
because it was a PRI. In my ignorance, I used the same pattern with the 
E&M and couldn't understand why it took so long to get a match.

It took me a while to realize that I needed a finite length pattern like 
"_xxxxxxx" so my dialplan wouldn't "stall" waiting for the digit timeout.

Maybe you have the same problem?

Thanks in advance,
