Interesting. Can you point to where this is documented? I rooted around
thru the Digium online manual, whitepaper, etc, couldn't find any doc.

While these entries seem to work, I found a small weakness in Asterisk:
It does not recognize my telephone's tones for the number "6". As long
as the outgoing phone numbers do not contain the number 6, I'm OK. In
voicemail, if I dial "6", it doesn't hear it....

Can anything be done to improve the recognition of the number 6 in
asterisk? The phone company can recognize it!
