[asterisk-users] quenstion about asterisk

[Elvis Jorge]

The problem with read() is that I have to wait that a message that is before 
read finish, I can use XXX,1 set(variable=${EXTEN}) but the user has to type 
the quantity of digits predefine.

Could you give me other solution?

Thanks

Or, use read() or AGI's "stream file."
