Elrod,

Though it may look like the extension is dialed first, it isn't.  The 
order of that file doesn't mater and * will always dial the extension 
first. Give John's example a try and it should work.

Here's some tips:
- the file name doesn't mater
- set up a file in another directory then just copy the file to 
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing and * will process and delete it.  This way 
you can easily modify your test file
- Careful which context you use in /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf to make 
sure it's correct.
