[Asterisk-Users] AT&T access code entry by Asterisk

[Walker Haddock]

I have a dialplan that requires that we use * to send the long distance access code to AT&T.  I have found in the list that the `w` command can be used to inject a pause, I have tried the following:

exten => _91NXXXXXXXXX,1,Dial(ZAP/g1/${EXTEN}www5555555,70)

There `5555555` is the ld access code.  I tried various quantities of `w`s but I never got * to dial the ld access code.  Allof the cases I saw the `w` token discussed was at the beginning of the dialed digits.  I tried putting a `w` at before the ${EXTEN} and it did appear to wait a little before dialing the digits.  Maybe it doesn't work inside the dial string?

I also tried the recommendation to use the Flash, SendDTMF, Wait, SendDTMF, but that didn't work at all.

I need to implement this functionality in the dialplan.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for your help!
