Wait doesn't read DTMF? Was Re: [Asterisk-Users] Collecting dialed digits

[asterisk at billheckel.com]

If wait doesn't break on DTMF then waitmusiconhold probably doesn't either.

That explains some of the complaints from callers about it ignoring DTMF at times...

I need to play music on hold for a set amount of time but still break on DTMF, how would I do that?

Any suggestions?
