[Asterisk-Users] international calling via POTS in Russia

[John Novack]

Sorry for the late response, but the "w" for wait ONLY works with DTMF. 
Not well documented, but asterisk doesn't detect dialtone, therefore it  
can start to dial numbers before the CO is ready, and I don't know how 
you can wait for a second dialtone if it doesn't even wait for the first 
one!.

Seems the designers thought everyone in the world now used DTMF.

Perhaps someone else has a method that will work. w will not.
