[Asterisk-Users] Newbie Question: Building an Asterisk systemtoreplace an old PBX but using existing phone

[Tom Rymes]

The difficulty is making the phone dial quickly when you dial a three  
or four digit extension number, yet not having it dial so quickly  
that it screws up a user who dials the first four digits of a 10  
digit number and has to look down at a piece of paper to read the  
last 6 digits. It's pretty annoying when that happens and the phone  
has already initiated the call. (I would make the phone wait either  
one or two seconds to match an internal extension.)
