[Asterisk-Dev] DISA broken

[John Todd]

I agree that if a terminator is used, it should be optional and not default.

However, there are some times when an _X. is required to set certain 
variables but that does not mean that the entire dial string is 
completed when I hit the first key.  I'm fine with DigitTimeout being 
used, but I need to be able to set some global routines on _any_ 
string dialed, and duplicating the entire routine for each possible 
permutation seems to be unnecessary.
