[Asterisk-Users] DTMF Talk off

[John Millican]

I have looked at that as a solution but haven't been able to get the dtmf to 
work reliably.  When I dial a local call i get connected okay and can 
obviously connect to the second * box with out problem, the problem comes in 
trying to get the ${EXTEN} portion of the dial string
Dial(zap/1/<my_sip_number>wwwwww${EXTEN});
 to the second * box.  It tends to not see the DTMF correctly for the number I 
want to call.  When I watch this on the CLI through SSH on the second box i 
see the call come in and go to the correct extension where it waits for 
digits to dial and I get sporadic results, sometimes no digits are recognized 
and sometimes 2 or 3, but never all correctly. I have tried increasing, and 
decreasing the wait in the dial string in my home * with no luck.  Any hints 
on how to get the 3000 and the * box to talk better?  If I could get this to 
work through the 3000 I would be a very happy camper as it would open up some 
possibilities that I can't do cost effectively otherwise.  I will start to 
route all local calls out the 3000 though for testing in the mean time.
Thanks for the ideas,
John M
