[Asterisk-Users] Dialing out through a Hardware PBX

[wasim at convergence.com.pk]

use Flash and SendDTMF to talk to dumb pbxs, Flash'll only work on ZAP 
channels though... 

	exten => 0,1,Flash
	exten => 0,2,SendDTMF(2)
	exten => 0,3,Wait(1)
	exten => 0,4,SendDTMF(123123123)
	exten => 0,5,Hangup
