[asterisk-users] Exit Dial Application

[Danny Nicholas]

This is what you "Really" want; It should work with SIP or Zap

exten => _X.,1,Dial(${DIALNUM},${ARG2},tT)
exten => _X.-NOANSWER,1,background(press5tocallback)
exten => -X.-NOANSWER,2,waitexten(5)
exten => 5,1,goto(callback,s,1)

I think the limitation could be by analogous Zap phones, as they
probably don't support sending DTMF on unanswered channel. You could
try it opposite way - Dial from SIP phone to Zap.
