My dialplan in the pap2 is:

(<:0>S0)

Which causes it to dial a '0' to asterisk as soon as I gets picked up.
In my asterisk dialplan it then does a DISA to another context, which
means Asterisk is doing all the dialplan stuff. For what I want in a
dialplan, I could have configured it in the pap2 but I didn't want to
learn it. I think I'm at that age where everything new I learn means
something else gets overwritten :)

My extensions.conf looks like:
[pap2_in]
exten => 0,1,Answer
exten => 0,n,DISA(no-password|internal)
exten => t,1,Congestion()

Ideally I would have liked the pap2 to have done the same as 'immediate'
when talking about fxo, capi, misdn, etc, but I couldn't get it to
automatically dial nothing. A '0' was the best I could do. If anyone
knows how to put it into immediate mode to come into asterisk as an 's'
extension, I'd love to hear about it!

Not sure. I'm using 3.1.3(LS), but if I remember correctly I had this
working on a prior firmware too...

Good luck.
