[Asterisk-Users] 11 instead of Star and how about #?

Not just in Italy, this has been my biggest beef with using *any* "normal" 
DTMF to escape to asterisk.  I realize that the need for such a thing but to 
have it hardcoded is a bad bad thing.

With Zap channels you can always hookflash to drop back to asterisk, and with 
almost any SIP phone you have a transfer button so I'm not exactly sure why # 
exists (perhaps from cell phones, where hookflash doesn't work?)

> It's possible to "escape" the # sequence????

Not that I am aware of.
