[vivek at staff.ownmail.com]

Hello friends, 
I am a newbie to asterisk , please help. I am receiving a phone from a sip server and I want to route it to another sip server. The problem is that the target sip server takes a # in the argument . I am trying to dial as 

exten => s,5,Dial(12345#123456789 at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)      ;;;; dial the number at the ip address.

When this gets executed, I get the following eror:-
 app_dial.c:698 dial_exec: Dial argument takes format (technology1/[device:]number1&technology2/[device:]number2...|optional timeout)

Please help me how do I resolve this problem. I have to send # or else my phone wont connect. 

Thanks for reading this.

With warm regards.
