<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to be able to use DISA without sending the #
sign to terminate the password. Actually, I rather be able to use a "fixed field
of X digits" (i.e. 228XXXX for the password, where if a match is found, the
field is terminated and the call processes). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our system has been configured to act as a switch,
basically, it accept's inbound calls, verifies account authorization,
selects an outbound trunk, and routes the calls, think "call forwarding" and
you'll have the basic concept.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Having to allways use the # plays havoc with some
of the Automatic route selection used in various PBX's (and even some automated
dialers have problems processing the #) that I'm trying to route calls from.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Essentially, I want these customers to be able to
route calls through our asterisk without having to incur additional programming
charges from their vendors. Being able to send an authorization string (or
better yet being able to use their existing authorization string) that isn't
terminated by # would make it a piece of cake to convert these accounts to our
service.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone had any experience passing authorization
to DISA that isn't terminated with #? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone got a recommendation as to a better way
to achieve the same goal?</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
