[Asterisk-Users] pause after dialed option

[Master Abi]

Use like this...

[mainmenu]
exten => s,1,Goto(sales|100|1)
exten => s,2,Goto(support|200|1)

[sales]
exten => 100,1,Answer                     ; Answer the line
exten => 100,2,DigitTimeout,5             ; Maximum Timeout between
digits
exten => 100,3,ResponseTimeout,10         ; Maximum Timeout awaiting
response
exten => 100,4,BackGround,mainmenu        ; Play Main Menu
....

[support]
exten => 200,1,Answer                     ; Answer the line
exten => 200,2,DigitTimeout,5             ; Maximum Timeout between
digits
exten => 200,3,ResponseTimeout,10         ; Maximum Timeout awaiting
response
exten => 200,4,BackGround,mainmenu        ; Play Main Menu
......

etc, etc

Also,  I don't think putting digit timeouts are always required, but I
did find Answer is a fairly safe bet. Try and use s extension is a
minimum.

So what do you use instead of s,1?  My s extensions set things like
response timeout, digit timeout, etc.  Thanks again.
