[Asterisk-Users] Exit the Directory Application?

[Ulexus]

The directory is generated from the voicemail.conf, so I imagine you would 
also have to an entry for extension '#' to voicemail.conf as well.

This seems like a really cheap (if effective and expedient) way of doing it.  
Just a note (and I really should add this to bugs.digium.com, I suppose), 
both the Directory and the Voicemail2 apps have very myopic view of the rest 
of the dial-plan or even their current context.  Namely, the lack of an 
escape condition for the Directory and lack of most any dial-out conditions 
(i.e., '0' or another extension number) in Voicemail2.

In a production environment, it is far better to take them as a 
proof-of-concept/development base and customize them to your overall setup 
than to use them out of the box.

Luckily, this isn't too hard, since most of the important treeing is already 
handled with case statements.  Just add the appropriate line...
